Appreciate your answer to pathalam@gmail.com
Oct. 9,2009 19:58 Mr.Hilary replied:
You can either apply for the china visa from the China embassy in Mumbai, India or from the Consulate-general of China in Salt Lake City, Kolkata. You can submit your application in person, or if you can't go to the embassy or consulate in person, you can entrust a visa or travel agent to process it for you on behalf, but the China embassy and consulate don't accept visa application by post. You have to present your former travel records to China along with the other documents.

Indian passport holders are exempt of visa to Hk for 14 days, so you can enter and stay in Hk with your valid Indian passport if the fair will last less than 14 days.

Hi,
I am based out of Bangalore,India. I would like to Visit HongKong and China for about 3 weeks on a Business Visa. I will get the invitation letter from a Reputed chinese company which is inviting me. But this is not the same company i am working for in India. Is there any problem in doing so.
Also for applying for the VISA can i send my application along with all documents by courier to the consulate and can expect my passport back the same way. How much time this process takes.
Best Regards, Sandeep
Jun. 23,2009 02:26 Ms.Louise(India) replied:
The invitation letter from a different company you are working for doesn't affect the visa application.
The Chinese embassy in India requires applicant to process it inperson or to entrust a travel agency to apply on his/her behalf. Applications by courier or post will not be accepted.
The normal visa procedure takes 4 working days.
