I am an American, currently traveling in Rome, and I'm planning on going to Shanghai next month - will it be possible to get a Chinese visa while I'm here? I do not have an Italian residency permit, since I am only here as a tourist. Thanks for our help.

Ms.Carol replied:
I think you can get a Chinese visa in Rome if you have the valid Italian visa or legal entry permit on your passport, the Chinese visa regulations to USA citizens are not very strict.

Mr.Giuseppe(Italy) said:
Hi,
I am Italian and I am livin Rome. I want to go to visit my girlfriend in Shanghai china. I want to apply for the multi-entry tourist visa for 6 month. Because I will not stay in hotels but with her, so i can ask her to provide letter or sth to show that. So, i just wanna ask what kind of letter or document that she needs to provide.
Another question is as I am planning to stay there about 6 months, I would like to book a one-way ticket now first and buy ticket at the time when I am back, so is it OK to show just a one-way ticket when I apply for my visa?
Thanks!

Hello Mr. Giuseppe,
it depends the chinese embassy whether you can apply for the L with 6 months multi-entry.

Mr.Giuseppe(Italy) replied:
Thank you for your reply! So, in my case, is there any possibilities that I can get a multientries visa? Or what tyle of visa do you suggest me to apply?
Thanks!

Ms.Carol replied:
Please apply for Tourist (L) visa which is issued to aliens who come to China for sightseeing, family viist or other private affairs, it is a little hard for you to get a multiple entry tourist visa valid for 6 months if it is your first trip to China. Your girlfriend should send you an Invitation Letter, copy of her passport/ID card, Chinese visa or residence permit if she is not Chinese, the return flight ticket is not mandatory.

Mr.JOHNNASH(United States) replied:
I have much sympathy for you! Recently, I heard that Guangzhou police took measures to find the aliens who overstay in Guangzhou, there are many Nigerians, so the visa policy becomes tightened for Nigerians. Now there is no other option, you have to return your flight ticket and get some money back.

Mr.Jacob F(Canada ) said:
I will be going to China for one year to teach English. My school/employer will provide the necessary paperwork to obtain first the Z visa and then the Foreign Experts Certificate.
My question is about obtaining the Z visa in Italy. I will be traveling in Europe during December and January (before entering China in early February) and would like to apply for my visa when I'm in Rome. Does the Chinese embassy in Rome issue visas to Canadians? Thanks
Nov. 22,2009 22:09
Mr.JOHNNASH(United States) replied:
I advice you to apply for Z visa in Canada, generally speaking, Z visa is valid for 3 months, you can rearrange your trip plan and apply for your Chinese z visa. In Rome, Chinese embassy in Rome will accept your application or it will deny your application.

Mr.JOHNNASH(United States) replied:
As I know, the Foreign Experts Certificate is also required when you apply for work visa, so you'd better check the Foreign Experts Certificate with your employer again.
