hi. im from the philippines. Is it possible to change my L visa to F visa in china or Z visa given that i have a company sponsoring me?
Or can i go to hk to get another visa?
thanks for your help.
Oct. 18,2009 21:51 Mr.David replied:
As far as I know, you can change your L visa to F visa in China, but I don't hear some aliens who change their L visa to Z visa in China. I'm afriad that you have to go back to Philippines to apply for Z visa. Recently, Filipinos can't apply for Chinese visa in Hong Kong.

Hi,
I just want to make sure (I know this has been asked a lot). I'm from Philippines and if I'm going to HK then Shenzhen (say 2 days in Shenzhen), do I need to get a visa from the China Embassy here or can I apply for it when I go to Shenzhen after HK?
Thank you in advance.
Oct. 7,2009 04:56 Mr.Brendan replied:
You'd better get a visa from Chinese embassy in Manila, because the Shenzhen entry ports maybe stop to issue visa-on-arrival (special economic zone visa) during the national day.

hi my son was invited to china,all expenses will be provided by my sister, he is 18 years old... is he still required for a bank account to get a visa ? he has no account... would he still be able to get a visa?
Oct. 6,2009 21:29 Mr.Jason replied:
I advice he submit his original passport, one filled visa application form attached with one his recent paspsort photo, two-way flight tickets, the invitation letter from your sisiter, copy of your sisiter's passport and temporary residence permit or Chinese visa, then the visa officials will not ask him to offer his bank account.
