Hi,

I've tried to Skype the Chinese Embassy in Hanoi, however, somehow the number doesn't work.

I'm thinking about travelling to Vietnam next week, however, I have to get back into China since my flight back home is from Beijing.

Can anyone tell me whether the Chinese Embassy in Hanoi currently is issuing L (= tourist) visas to China? Either by experience or by contacting them. Normally you would assume they do but I'm not so sure after having read some of the posts below.

Quick replies would be appreciated since I have to buy the tickets for Hanoi soon.

Btw, I have a Danish passport.

Cheers,
Dan

The Chinese Embassy in Hanoi currently does issue L tourist visa to China.
The phone number of the Consular Office is 84-4-8235569.

Mr.Bang(China) replied:

And this is 100% sure - have you been in contact with them? I tried to Skype the number - but it simply says that the number does not exist. How annoying. I'm sorry for all this double-checking but it would cost me a fortune if things went wrong.

Jul. 1,2009 02:01
Mr.Bang(China) replied:

The reason why I'm double checking is the posts below saying that the Chinese Embassy in Hanoi currently does not issue L visas.

Mr.Na z(Duymun) said:

Hi i am in Hanoi at the moment and have found one of few tour operators that will get me a 3 month double entry visa for China. However after a bit of research on the internet, i found a forum that stated the visas can only be applied for in Ho Chi Minh, a rule that has been in effect for about a month. The tour operator says that the visa will take 6 days, but all posts on here suggest it is 4. could these extra 2 days be to transport the passport to and from Ho Chi Minh from Hanoi? I'd be great full if you could shed some light. Thanks

Mr.Longfellow replied:

The normal processing time of a Chinese visa is 4 working days. Well, currently, due to the swine flu, the normal processing time has been extended from 4 working days to 6 working days in the Chinese embassy/consulates in USA. It is not sure if other Chinese missions adopt the same practice.

Mr.Daniel Greeves(UK) said:

hey,

I'm currently in china and wanting to come to Vietnam over the summer before I resume working again in China. However, because of Chinese visa regulations I will need to apply for the visa overseas. Does anyone know whether it is easily possible to get a Chinese Z visa (working visa) in Hanoi or in HCM? I will have all the documentation required. Just a little paranoid about Chinese visas!

Thanks

Mr Daniel, I heard that it is possible to apply for a Chinese work visa inside China.(at the Entry-Exit Administration Department of Public Security Bureau. You could visit the local public security bureau where you reside in China.
