Mr.nicolas(Italy) said:

Hi I have an italian passport and studying i since now i am near Belgium i wanted to get the chinese visa in Bruxelles.

I am taking the transiberian train till Baikal lake and once i am there i am gonna get a ticket to China by train.

My question is, if i want to ask for the visa now, and i will buy an air ticket out of china, is this ok for the "two way ticket" requirement? i though that maybe what chinese autorities want to see is proof that you will leave the country, and maybe i dont need to get an air ticket to get in.

Is this possible?

If you will take a train to China, you have to provide your train tickets as the application documents.

Mr.A.B(India) said:

Dear Sir / Madam,

In relation to the business F visa for attending short term business meeting in China, here is my current status and have a few questions.

1. I hold an India passport.
2. I hold a Belgium work permit and my residence permit is still in the process now.
3. I received both invitation letter (in English) from the inviting unit in China and the visa notification letter/telegram from the authorized unit (in Chinese). Due to my nationality, the visa notification letter/telegram from the authorized unit is mentioned a single entry request but invitation letter (in English) from the inviting unit in China is requested for multiple entries.
4. I applied several multiple entries for Business F visa (multiple entries) and Z visa (multiple entries) in the past 5 years. I worked in China from 2007 till 2009. Now, I moved to Belgium due to the business needs.

Question:

Am I eligible to file the business F visa application at the consulate in Belgium for multiple entries?
With the overseas commitments and tight schedule, I seek your kind understanding and accept my application for multiple entries. I have all other necessary documents and am ready to visit the consualte to file the application. Thank you very much in advance for your assistance in this matter.

Mr.Dan replied:

You still need a truely and completely ful-filled multi-entry visa application form attached with a visa-sized photo.

Mr.Wu(China) said:

We are a Chinese joint venture company partly owned by an large European Group of companies. The British and Dutch executives of our parent company can easily get a one-year validity multiple entry visa from the Chinese embassies in their home countries against our invitation letter. But our Belgian executives said the Chinese embassy in Brussels did not accept our invitation and, despite that the restriction during the Olympic Games had been over, still required an invitation letter or endorsement from the local government of the city in China to supply the application for a business visa. Is it true? Why so difficult for Belgians to obtain sucb business visit visa to China?

Jun. 10,2009 03:26
Mr.Chang replied:

Nr Wu, only the authorized organizations ( General Office of the Municipal or Provincial Government and the Affiliated governmental organization ) have the rights to issue invitation letter or visa notification sheet.

Mr.Van Neste(Belgium) said:

Hello

I am going to Hong Kong with 3 friends (tourism). We will go for 2 days to Guangzhou because we take a plane from there to Vietnam. Is it advised to get a visum in advance, or is it easier to arrange for a group visum or something in Hong Kong or Macau? Does this count as transit?

Kind regards

Frederik

Mr.Jonno replied:

It is advised to get a visa for mainland China in advance. You can't get a group visa because at least five people can constitute a tour group. Two days can be counted as transit.

Mr.D.(Belgium) said:

Hi,
I'm a foreign student in Belgium. In September I intend to visit China with my Chinese friend (in whose house I'll be staying for most of the time) for about a week. So I was wondering what is the procedure to obtain a tourist visa and which documents I need to provide?

Jun. 3,2009 04:51
Mr.Huang replied:

Required documents:
1)An actual passport with a minimum validity life of 6 months and enough blank visa pages
2) A completed application form with a photo attached
3) Two-way air tickets
4) your Belgian residence permit

Mrs.D.(Belgium) replied:

Thanks a lot for information. I was also wondering if i'll be needing an invitation and if yes, is there any standard form for it?

Jun. 4,2009 22:34
Mrs.Sabrina(France) replied:

Mrs.D, you need an Invitation Letter from your Chinese friend, his/her sponsion, copy of his/her Chinese Identity Card. I am not clear about the standard form, but I think the form is doesn't matter for the invitation because the copy of Identity Card was an insurance.

Mr.Troupin(Belgium) said:

my son is a Belgian citizen living outside Bruxelles, age 17, living with his mother ... i am divorced, Belgian citizen but resident of DR Congo ... i have to apply for my china visa in Kinshasa .. can my son apply for a single entry visa in Bruxelles? we are traveling together from Bruxelles to Beijing at the end of July with a tour group ... Since he is under 18 years old, what papers does he need to bring for the visa besides his passport and airline ticket/itinerary?

Jun. 4,2009 21:18
Ms.LILIAN(China) replied:

You son can apply for a single entry visa in Bruxelles, besides his passport, airline ticket (round-trip air ticket), he also need provide one completely filled Visa Application Form of the People's Republic China, one recent passport photo, and the hotel booking in China. However, as you said you will join a tour, in principal, the travel agency should apply for a group visa for all members of the tour.

Hello,

I heared that currently there is an extra control on the passports for Mexican entry stamps, due to the Mexican Flu. I went to Mexico last year (until 15 April 2008), so long before there ever was a case of Mexican Flu, but will this have a effect on my VISA application (extra time, danger for refusal)

For the Visa application, you do not only need airplane confirmation, but also bookings of hotels. Is it necessary to have bookings of ALL hotels you visit, or is it enough to have one for the day you arrive?
thank you

Bert

Mr.Albert(China) replied:

Last April? It is long before the outbreak of Swine Flu in Mexico. If you have visited Mexico in the recent three months, you will be in danger of being rejected for a Chinese visa.
