Mr.Edward(Syria/China) replied:
Your visit to China is just for visiting friends and sightseeing. You shoul apply for an L (visa). The average duration of stay for single-entry L visa is 30 days. For a double-entry L visa, it is 60 days. You can also get your stay period extended after your entry into China.

Hello, I am Slovenian citizen living in Vienna.
What do I need and what is the possibility to get Chinese visa for 6 month with multi entries?
Can I do it in Vienna? What do I need?
Thanks!!!

Mr.Leonardo(China) replied:
What is the purpose of your visit?
You can not get a multiple Chinese visa if this will be the first-time application.
You can submit the application in Vienna. In addition to a valid passport (with a minimum validity life of 6 months), an application form with a passport-size photo attached, return flight tickets and hotel reserve confirmation, you also need to present a Austrian visa or residency permit.

Mrs.Marija replied:
Hello,
Thank you for the reply. My boyfriend lives in China so I am going to visit him for 2 weeks. Do I have to have hotel reservation anyway?
This will be my first time in China, yes.
I have no visa in Austria as I am EU citizen already so I don't need any kind of permit here. Nevertheless, of course I can show where I live in Vienna.
Thanks a lot!
Marija

Hi,
I am going to work in Hong Kong for a year, and I was wondering if there is a visa for HongKong with multiple entries to China?
Thanks

Mr.Chan(Hong Kong) replied:
Hong Kong and the mainland China have different visa regulations. You need separate visas for visiting Hong Kong and China. You could apply for the multiple-entry visas there, but you can hardly get a multiple visa if you are a first time applicant.

Mr.Leo replied:
A tourist visa is required for your entry into China. Since you not an Austrian, besides the basic documents(valid passport, application form, photo), you should also hold a valid Austrian visa or resident permit. Other materials such as flight tickets, confirmation of hotel reserve and your bank statement of last 3 months may also be required.
