Mr.Vierheller(USA) said:

I will be study in Japan for six weeks in the summer of 2010, followed by 1 year in China. Can I get the Chinese Visa while I am in Japan (since the one-year visa would not be long enough for me if I get it in US before I leave for Japan)? Is the visa requirments the same to get in Japan as that in USA?

Nov. 8,2009 03:38
Mr.John Nash(USA) replied:

Yes, you can get a Chinese visa in Japan, the visa requirements are same to get in Japan as that in USA, just one additional documents, the alien registration in Japan is also required.

you should apply for the Chian Z work visa from the Chian embassy in Japan.
By the way, sir, this is not the official website of the China Embassy in Japan. It is just a forum about China visas. Everybody here is just travellers.

Mr.Daniel(Japan) said:

I was at the China embassy in Tokyo my self and they refused to look at my application for a tourist visa to china.
The told me to Fly back to Nigeria to get a visa to China. I found this treatment very inhumane. How can you ask a permanent of Japan to Fly to Nigeria just to get a tourist Visa?? I think this is unfair and the Hon. Chief conselor Mr. Yu Shuyuan must look into this. You can not pusnish other people for the mistakes of few people.

Oct. 14,2009 20:56
Mrs.Adeline replied:

The embassy has the right to accept or refuse the visa application, so only the embassy can give you the answer.
You can try to apply for the visa in your home country nigeria.

Oct. 23,2009 01:17
Mr.Daniel(Japan) replied:

They refused you just beacuse you are a Nigerian. Nothing more. They will give you Visa If you become a cummunist or if you arrest the Dai Lama or Conquer Taiwan. As for Mrs. Adeline forgive her, she is Naive.

Mrs.Yamazaki(Japan) replied:

That is NO GOOD !! Nigeria too must stop issuing visas to China people! I want to vist Shanghai with my bofriend who is also Nigerian. They refused him. VERY SAD. I HATE CHINA.

I have visited China 3 times this year. Recently I heared The embassy stopped issuing visas to Nigerians.
Iam Nigerian and I want to visit China again. So I want to know If the China embassy is refusing Visa to all nigerians just because they have nigerian passports or they have other reasons.

Where did you get the information? I haven't heard of it. You can contact the China embassy to confirm this.

Mr.Crampton(USA) said:

Dear Person,
Can I get visas that would allow my family of five to stay for two years?
I am an American who has been living with my wife and three children in Japan for six years. I would like to move to China for two years in order for my three children to learn the Chinese language and culture. I hope to put them in an public school in Beijing.
regards,
William

Mr.John Nash(USA) replied:

It is hard for you to get a two-year visa. You can find a job in China first and apply for a work visa, after you get the work visa, then your family can also apply for work visa as the dependants, after arriving in China, you can your family can apply for Temporary Residence Permit, valid for 2 year, 3 years , etc, according to your work contrct.

Oct. 19,2009 03:56
Mr.Crampton(usa) replied:

Thank you for your quick response. If I understand you the only alternative is to get a job (like teaching) to get a visa that is good for more than 30 days.

Mr.James(Australia) said:

Hi,
I'm an American travelling to Melbourne via Shanghai.
I already have booked my ticket Shanghai - Melbourne, but I have not booked any Tokyo-Shanghai flight.
If I book a TY-SH ticket to coincide with my existing flight (ie Tokyo-Shanghai Nov, 2 - Shanghai-Melbourne Nov, 2) would I still have to apply for a Chinese visa?
Does it matter that these two flights are with separate airlines?

Oct. 14,2009 21:00
Mr.Adrian replied:

Visas are not required of citizens of Australia who transit through Pudong Airport or Hongqiao Airport of Shanghai, provided they hold valid passports, visas for the onward countries, final destination tickets and have booked seats, and stay in Shanghai for less than 48 hours.
it doesn't matter the two flights are from separate arelines.

Ms.Leila (Morocco) said:

Hello,

I am a Moroccan (Kingdom of Morocco) Citizen and I will be going to Hong-Kong for a tourism short stay. The flight I booked requires a change of plane in Beijin. The transit time is less than 2-hours of course without leaving the airoport. The travel agency insisted on the fact that for some citizens a transit visa is needed even for such simple change of planes! Would I need a chinese transit visa for that?

Thanks

Mr.Morton replied:

You don't need a visa for your short period of transit in Beijing.
