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!

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.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?

Nov. 14,2009 22:11
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

Mr.Emilio Carrega(Argentina) said:

Hello. I am an Argentinian citizen. I went today to the Chinese embassy in Moscow but it was closed because of holidays until Wednesday. I can't wait for so long here but I am planning to take the transiberian and spend some days in Ekaterinburg and Irustk. Both places have consulate of China. Can I apply there for my visa?? How long does it takes to get it? I don't have any invitation letter, that can be a problem? What papers should I take?

Thank you very much,

Oct. 7,2009 03:22
Mr.Peter replied:

I guess you can apply for Chinese visa there. Temporary visitors to other countries should apply for a Chinese visa in their own country. If you want to apply for Chinese visa in a third country, you should have the certificate that entitle them to reside for an extended period of time in the third country, such as residence permit, work permit.

Mr.Emilio Carrega(Argentina) replied:

Dear Mr. Peter

I have been traveling for the last 7 month around the world that why I want to apply my visa in Irkusk or Ekaterinburg. It will be possible? I don't have options to go back to Argentina and then go to China. If it;s possible due to be traveling, do I need an invitation letter??

Thank you again
