Mr.Daniel(Japan) said:

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.

Mr.James replied:

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.

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.

Ms.Fiona(Japan) said:

The website doesnt tell you, but you also need to take a photocopy of your passport (the picture page) as well as the passport itself. If you have an Alien ID you also need to provide a photocopy of this as well as the original. As the website doesnt tell you this, it results in you having to line up and wait to use the photocopier which takes additional time. If you get the photocopies beforehand it will save you time and hassle.

Oct. 13,2009 03:03
Mrs.Sydney replied:

Ms.Fiona, I agree with you. Prepare all the documents to be needed beforehand in case of emergency.

hi, i am a nigerian living in japan with a 3years spouse(married)visa. i have less than six month visa left, in my three year visa. can i apply for chinese visa?

Oct. 12,2009 22:55
Mrs.Samantha replied:

I'm afraid not, since the China embassy requires the passport with at least 6 month validity left. You have to renew your passport firstly.

Ms.Belandres(Japan) said:

Hi,

I am filipino, and live in japan with permanent residence, im planning to visit china this month and i understand that some of the requirements are the 2 way ticket and hotel reservation certificate.The hotel reservation is in my Fiancee's name who is a Canadian(he has his visa), is that OK to submit the hotel reservation certificate in my Fiancee's name to get a visa since we have hotel reservation in his name?

Oct. 12,2009 05:02
Mr.John Nash(USA) replied:

You can have a try to provide the hotel reservation in his name and state the situation to visa officers on the visa application form. However, I can't make sure that the visa official will accept it.

Oct. 12,2009 22:50
Ms.Fiona(Japan) replied:

Hi, I just got back from the embassy this morning, where I applied for my own tourist visa into China and I did not have to state the hotel I was staying at. I simply had to put "Hotel" and this was sufficient. This was suggested by the embassy staff themselves and it caused no problems.

Ms.Suzanne Wilmott(UK in Japan) said:

Hi,

I am a UK citizen living in Japan on a work visa which is to be renewed in March 2010.

I would like to go on holiday to China at the end of December.

Can you give me some advice on what documents I need to get a Chinese visa?

Also, I live very far from Tokyo. Do I have to apply in person for my visa, or can I do it through a travel agent? Which travel agencies in Japan offer this service?hanks for your help!

Oct. 8,2009 23:05
Mr.Ryan¡¡ replied:

You need the following documents:
1. Valid passport with at least 6 months validity and 2 blank pages.
2. 1 certificate-sized photo(3cm X 4cm).
3. A authentically fulfilled visa application form.
4. Valid residence visa in Japan and its copy.
5. Hotel booking in China and round-way air ticket.
If you are live far from Tokyo, you can apply for
the China visa from any of the Consulate of China in
Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Nagoya, Osaka or Sapporo.
You can apply for the visa through a travel agent. You can get the name list of the travel agencies from the China consulate where you will apply for the visa.

Oct. 12,2009 22:48
Ms.Fiona(Japan) replied:

Hi Suzanne. JTB Travel offer a service where you send the documents to them and they get the visa and send it to you on your behalf. I found it expensive though at around Y30,000 but its another option if you find you just cant get into the embassy to do it yourself.

Ms.JEFFREYGASA25(United States) said:

I am a Filipino citizen working in the United States. I have H1B visa. I am currently in Japan for business. I also need to visit China for business. My flight to China is on Sunday and I need to get visa as soon as possible. I went to the Chinese consular office today in Tokyo, but the office was closed due to holidays. When will it open? If it's only open this Friday and I apply on that day, would I be able to get the visa on the same day? I am willing to pay double or triple rush order fee to get my visa by Friday. I hope this is possible

Oct. 8,2009 22:48
Mr. Ethan¡¡¡¡ replied:

The embassy is open on Firday Oct 09, 2009. I'm afriad you are not able to get the visa the same day even if you request the express service and pay additional fees.

yes, you can ask your friend to apply for Chinese visa on behalf of you. The requirements are below:
1. valid passport with at least one blank visa page and at least 6 months beyond the expiration.
2. Certificate of alien registration (to the aliens who have the visa with the period of more than half a year in Japan)
3. One completed visa application form attached with one recently taken, bareheaded, full-faced photo.
4. A Chinese hotel reservation certificate and a two-way air ticket.

Mr.Alex(Japan) said:

I will be travelling in Chengdu China this November and 2 of the requirements are hotel reservation certificate and 2-way ticket.

My question is how do i get that hotel certificate since i will be getting my hotel once i get there and about the ticket would it be ok to get just the reservation?

Thank you.

Oct. 7,2009 00:46
Ms.Zoe replied:

Mr. Alex, you can book hotel first and get a Chinese hotel reservation certificate, as for the two-way air ticket, I get the information from the official website of Chinese embassy in Japan, it is ticket rather than reservation. I think you'b better ask a travel agency to apply the tourism visa if you will stay in China over 15 days. Japanese citizens can visit China for up to 15 days without a visa.

Mr.Liam(japan) said:

I live and work in Japan and hold a 1 year work Visa and my passport currently has 10 years before its expirey. I plan on visiting Shanghai for 14 days over Christmas, but have read that my Japanese Work Visa will require at least 6 months remaining.
At time of departure my Japanese Work Visa will have '5 months and 28 days' remaining.
Will I be able to depart. To get an extension on my work permit is expensive and it all seems rather stupid, especially considering that my passport is well within it's expirey date.

This information was taken from the Chinese Embassy website-
"A. Basic Requirements

a. A valid passport with enough blank pages.
b. Certificate of alien registration (to the aliens who have the visa with the period of more than half a year in Japan)"

Oct. 5,2009 02:16
Mr.Edward replied:

The Engliash Version of official website of China Embassy in Japan doesn't update its inforamtion, now, you just need provide a legal alien registration and its copy, you don't need to provide the visa with the period of more than half a year in Japan.

Mrs.Sharapa Oksana(Ukraine) said:

Hello, I`m a Ukrainian citizen (going to marry an American citizen in Japan. For that I`m required to collect the criminal records (better say, the proof that I don`t have any) from the places I`ve been living for the past 10 years. I lived in China for 5 years, which means I need the documents from the Chinese police. Is it possible to obtain them in the Embassy of China in Tokyo? What should I bring to apply for my "non-criminal" proof? Can it be done through the consulate? Thank you very much!

Sep. 29,2009 04:34
Mrs.Christina replied:

You Can turn to the china embassy or consulate in Japan for help.
