Mr.Stanislav(China) said:

Hi, I am Russian and I work in China (Shandong). I was applying for British visa in Jinan office in 06.07.2009. After 14 working days I still don't have any reply from Consulate. In the beginning of August I am planning to visit Europe, so how can I take my passport back (with or without British visa)?

Mrs.Deng(China) said:

Hi, dear Madam/sir, my name is Kewei, studying in the UK with 2 years visa, during my stay in the UK, I want to travel in Europe, Turkey and go to India with friends also, but my passport has 4 blank pages left only, is that enough for going to these countries or I need to get a new passport? and how?
You may want to email to: dengkw@yahoo.com.cn, if it's possible, thanks a lot.

Mar. 13,2009 22:37
Mr.Chen(UK) replied:

I am afraid four pages are not enough for you to have all the entry visas approved on the passport. You'd better renew your passport. You should bring your orginal and copy of your current passport, two/three passport-sized photos and your residence permit in UK to the China Embassy in UK.
