I am an american citizen currently in Kenya, traveling through East Africa. I have purchased a ticket to travel to Shanghai, China, on December 16, 2009, and need to obtain a tourist visa. I called the embassy in Nairobi and they said that they were not able to process Chinese visas to non-Kenyan residents. Is there ANY way I can obtain my visa and travel to China without sending my passport back to the U.S?

Hello,
I am working as a volunteer in Uganda and cannot return to Dublin, Ireland in order to get a tourist visa before I intend to travel to China in December. I would like to know if it is possible to get a tourist visa in one week from your Embassy in Nairobi as I will spend 1 week in Nairobi before travelling to China?
Regards

We are writing from Stardom Group Ltd - Nairobi, and wish to organise a 'china only' Exhibition/Conference on modern Metering, Billing & Payment Systems for Utilities (water, power, gas) either in December 2009 or January/February 2010. Utility companies from COMESA countries are expected to attend. This is huge business opportunity for China. We wish to invite Chinese companies that manufacture electricity, water and gas meters etc. Also, we wish to partner with your Office here in Nairobi to ensure huge success for this planned Expo. Kindly let us know who to talk to at your office, and to what extent your office can be involved in this proposed event.
Thank you.

Please note i want her to come to kenya not for me to go to china. The reply gave me Chinese visa applications i need her to relocate to kenya and was wondering whether the chinese embassy helps citizens who are trying to move to kenya.
My fiance is Chinese we met in the US and I would like her to come and live here. I am currently employed in Kenya and was wondering whether the Chinese embassy would help in relocating or helping her get an employment visa or a job with one of the many Chinese companies in Kenya.
Thanks,
Allan

Mr.allan, the China embassy can't help your girlfriend to get an employment visa or a job. This is private affaires, Your girlfriend should find a job with one the Chinese companies in Kenya by herself.
