From April 8, 2008, the Consulate General of China no longer accepts visa application by mailing. If you can't go to the consulate personally to submit application, you can entrust your relatives, friends, travel agencies or visa agencies to submit it on your behalf. However, the Chinese Visa Application Form must be signed by you. You can also entrust them to collect your visa by showing the Pick-Up Receipt to consular officials. Please note that the Pick-Up Receipt is the only certificate to collect your visa. If it is lost, the applicant must come to the consulate in person to collect visa by taking his Identity Card. Time Needed for Visa Application Processing
Generally, it takes 4 working days to process the visa application. For example, if you submit the application on Monday, you can pick up your visa in the morning of Thursday. The express service and same-day rush service are also available in the consulate. If you apply for the same-day rush service, you should submit application between 09:00-09:30 during working days, and then you can collect your visa between 11:30-12:00 on the same day; if you submit the application after 09:30, you can only collect your visa on the second working day. The fare of the Same-Day Rush Service is 50 Australian Dollars. If you apply for the Express Service, you can pick up your visa on the third working day. The fee is 30 Australian Dollars.

Hi
I am chinese citizen with AUS PR, currently in Melbourne. I am about to go overseas for 2 weeks, but my Chinese passport is going to expire in March 2010. I heard that the custom may not let me travel, because my passporrt is not valid for at least 6 months. Is this true?
Can i just go overseas on this passport, and when i come back, then i can go to extend my passport?
THanks

If yu can get the visa for yoru trip to overseas with the present passport, then you can go overseas with this passport and renew your passport after the trip.

The lady that is responsible for HongKong visa has contacted me and asked for furthur document through a message (for the visit visa), her voice was not clear! On the other hand I am so far from their office (I am living in Nowra)and it's not possible for me to go there every time that they ask for a new thing! Can I send that document via e-mail or fax ? I don't even have any contact details from them! Please help me, it's so frustrating!

Do you apply for Hong KOng visa through a visa agency or travel agnecy? or you apply a visa at the consulate general of China in Sydney?
Oct. 26,2009 22:09
Mrs.Ana(Australia) replied:
Dear Peter, I have applied through chinese consulate in Sydney. Just one letter from the university is needed to get the visa. I was wondering if I could post that letter instead of going to Sydney! Since I have to go another time for collecting the Passport. Best regards.

Mr.Michael(USA) said:
I am a citizen of Australia but living in the US. I travel frequently to China and looking to get a visa. The visa I obtain from the Chinese embassy in New York only allows me to travel twice. I would like to get a long time visa so I wouldn't have to keep going back to New York every time I need to travel. They say I need to get it from Australia since that is where I am a citizen. How can I obtain this and what would be the fee.

Hi, I am Australian and am going to Spain for study in Jan 2010 but as part of the Spanish visa requirements I need a Chinese police clearance check done as I have lived in China in the past 5 years. Do you know if the Chinese consulate in Sydney does this? I have found a document that says I must go to China in person to apply... that cannot be right?!?
HELP!
Thanks
