Mr.Bruce replied:
Ms. shira, you can have a try at Consulate of China in Mumbai, just provide your original passport, one completed Visa Application Form affixed with one passport photo, if the visa official ask you to provide the flight ticket to next detination after visiting China and hotel reservation in China, then you have to prepare for them. Sometimes, the visa officers won't ask for flight ticket or hotel reservation.

Hi!
I have recently got an offer to be based in guangzhou, china. I will be applying for z visa for myself by end feb., when i get all the documents from my company in china. I want my wife also to accompany along with me. Can we apply together during the same time i.e. myself for z visa and her for an l visa? Does she also need to get a physical examination done? During this time while i m waiting for the relevant papers from china, i will get the marriage certificate notarized and authenticated from chinese embassy.
Please advise.

Mr.Bruce replied:
yes, you can apply for visa at the same time, your wife also need to make physical examination if she will accompany you for more thn 6 months in China, it is a good idea for you to authenticate your marriage certificate during the waiting time. Your wife can also apply for Z visa as dependants.
