Mr.Arash Sajadi(Iran) said:

Dear,
This question is in continue to the previous question. Shanghai Foreign Affairs Office has asked the conference chair the following question. This question should be replied by me.
Question: What is the formal name of the Chinese Embassy (or Consulate) to the country (or city) where you are going to apply your visa to China?

As I am applying for visa via embassy of China in Belgium (Brussels), what should I reply? Is this true? the formal name of the Chinese Embassy is "embassy of China in Belgium (Brussels)". The city I am going to is "Shanghai, China". Otherwise please tell me what should I reply to this question.

Mr.Arash Sajadi(Iran) said:

Dear sir,
I am Ph.D student in Belgium. I have Iranian nationality. I have a paper in a conference in China. What documents should I prepare for Visa. According to your web site, the application form, passport, one picture and reservation ticket of plane are necessary. I have an invitation letter from conference chair as well. Are these documents enough? However, today I came to consular Office of China’s embassy with these documents, the consular officer asked me for something else like official invitation letter from consular of affairs, Ministry of foreign of affairs. Can you please tell me what that is? and what should I ask the conference chair to send for me? please note that my conference is in Shanghai and conference chair is in Shanghai as well.

Thanks

Ms.Gemi(Belgium) said:

Hello,
We are 2 students, one Filippino and one Vietnamese staying Belgium. We plan to take a flight from Belgium to China, stay there for 1 or 2 week and then go back to our home countries. From the instruction I understand that we have to apply for tourist visa, type L. But do we have to provide hotel reservation because we may stay with our friend's family. In that case what do we need to provide as the proof of accommodation? Also, what about the air ticket? If we buy the ticket but we can't get the visa it would be a problem. Normally visas are issued and then people buy tickets. Why do we need to provide an air ticket before the visa is issued? I find it rather strange.
Thank you so much for answering my question.

Sep. 11,2009 21:36
Mr.John replied:

If you will stay with our friend's family, you can ask them to provide you an invitation letter attached with the copy of their ID card instead of the hotel booking. With the China embassy have to grant your duaration time in China on your visa based on your round-way air tickets.

If you have the official invitation letter from a company in China, you can apply for Business Visa, otherwise, you can only apply for Tourist Visa.
