Does the China Emabassy in Moscow issue same day tourist visas to China. If so what is the best approach

Mr.Sam replied:

You can't get the same say tourist visa, please submit visa application as soon as the embassy opens, then apply for rush service, maybe the air ticket of the next day is required to show for the rush service, you can pick up you visa on the second day counted from the date of submission.

Mr.Linden(Russia) said:

Hello,

I am a US citizen living and working in Russia. I would like to apply for a tourist visa for China. Could you please clarify the following for me?
In a previous response it was stated: "If you travel by self-help tour, the hotel reservation and round air ticket are required"
Does this mean that I can submit my airline reservation and a copy of my online hotel booking in place of an invitation letter from a Government recognized tour agency? Or do I still need a separate invitation? If so, how do I fin a government-recognized tour agency?
Thanks

Hello!
I'm planning a transit flight trougth Shanghai, China, to Philippines. 1st stopover at Shanghai will be less then 24hrs, and 2nd on my way back - 2 days. What kind of visa should i get?
Can I get a transit visa only for the period of 2nd stopover, and use a transit without visa at 1st stopover?

Thanks!

will you move out of the airport for your 1st stop at Shanghai?

Yes, I'll move out from airport, but I planned to use transit without visa at this time, since my stopover will be less than 24hrs

Hello,
I am a Danish citizen now living and working in St. Petersburg.
This summer my wife, who is Russian, and I will be in Khabarovsk doing some seminars and we want to go for about a week to Beijing.
Can you tell us if we can apply for the Chinese visa in Khabarovsk even though we are both residents of St. Petersburg as we will be not be able to get the visa before going to Khabarovsk?
Best wishes,
Michael

Mr.Dylan replied:

I think you should apply for the visa in St. Petersburg.

Nov. 14,2009 13:51
Mr.Michael Bang(Denmark) replied:

Hi,
Yes I guess its better to apply in St. Petersburg - but as I dont know the dates and will not buy the tickets etc before going to Khabarovsk - would it somehow be possible to apply for the visa in Khabarovsk?

Ms.Alice replied:

St.Petersburg is under the consular jurisdiction of Chinese Consulate General in St.Petersburg, so you should apply for Chinese visa in St.Petersburg
