Hi...We are in Vietnam & wish to cross to China using either UK or NZ passports. We plan on crossing over mid November. We have a flight booked 28th Dec, Kunming to Hong Kong (6 weeks).
After 6 days in Hong Kong we wish to travel by train to Guilin returning to Hong Kong 22 Jan to fly to NZ.(3 weeks). We're getting conflicting information as to the length of time we can stay in China. What sort of visa should we apply for. Currently in Hanoi. :-)

Mr.Allen replied:

The duration of a single entry China tourist visa is 30 days.

Oct. 27,2009 09:26
Mr.APAULT(China) replied:

It sounds like you will exit and re-enter China mainland, therfore you will need at least a dual entry visa. The maximum length is 2 months for dual or multiple entry visas, or 3 for singkle entry. However, if you apply in Vietnam or Hong Kong (and many otherb countries other than yopur normal place of residence) you might find that you are limited to a 30 day visa. But if you apply for a dual entry that will grant 2 x 30 day visits, multiple entry may give you 12 months to visit but exiting every 30 days.

Hi I am a New Zealand citizen who is travelling through Asia. I am currently in South Korea as a tourist, but I want to apply for a 6 month visa for China from South Korea. Can I apply (on a tourist visa, from Korea) or do I need to apply from my home country and apply for a tourist visa for China?

I think you can apply for the China visa from the China Embassy in South Africa, but you have to confirm with the embassy.

i am a New Zealand citizen currently traveling in India. I will be arriving in Delhi on the 9th of October. I am seeking information on how to obtain a visa to China for Canton Fair? I see from a previous post that I may be able to do this on arrival in Hong Kong? Or would it be better to visit you in Delhi? Please advise as soon as possible. Many thanks.

Mr.SAJJAD HUSSAIN(New Zealand/Pakistan) said:

Dear sir, Thanks for the reply. I have some more questions. Actually I am going to attend a conference (Interdrought III) in Shanghai, China during October 11-16 . To "F" type visa I need ORIGINAL VISA NOTICE SHEET from some government agency in China. The latest situaion is that the conference organizers have issued me this document in e-mail and now I am waiting for the ORIGINAL version of this document to arrive here in New Zealand which I may take with me when I leave for Pakistan (to apply a Chinese visa there in Islamabad as my visa application has been declined by Chinese embassy in New Zealand). But my problem is that I have not yet received the ORIGINAL paper that has been already posted from Shanhgai some 9 days ago. My questions are:
1. May I still apply Chinese visa if my application does not have the ORIGINAL visa notice sheet but a PDF file sent to me by conference organizer in e-mail?
2. If you do not accept a copy of this letter, may I change type of visa from "F" to "L" because perhaps that type of visa dot not require Visa Notice Sheet. If yes, can you please provide me full detail of document that I should attach with a Tourist visa?
3. I am hoping to get visa process done in 2 days (between 29-30th September) if I apply for an urgent visa. What do you think hoping to get visa process done in 2 days is ok?
Let me clarify that I have to travel from New Zealand to Pakistan only to get Chinese visa from Pakistan. So I can not afford any rejection of visa after applying in Pakistan. Hoping to get replies to all questions.

Mr.Simon replied:

1. i'm afraid you have to present th eoriginal one.
2. You can apply for a tourist visa to china with the following documents:
a. Completed and signed visa application form.
b. One recent passport sized colour photograph.
c. Original passport with 2 blank visa pages and valid for over 6 months.
d. copy of your airline ticket (e-ticket).
3. you can get the visa in 2 days if you request the rush service.
However, I advise you apply for the visa in your home country in New Zealand, since i Heard that the China emabssy don't accept visa application in a third country recently.

Hello, I have a boy who is five and half years old and holding NZ pastport, I'd like send him go back china to study chinese for a couple of years with his Granny, so what type visa for him? (stedent visa?)and how much visa fee?

Sep. 21,2009 20:37
Mr.John Nash(USA) replied:

yes, he can apply for student visa. If it is refused by the embassy, you can apply for tourist visa for family visit, after arriving, his granny can help him to apply for a temporary residence permit in the local police station, then he can study in China. The visa fee is 140 New Zealand dollars for single entry visa.
