Dear sir, madam,

From januar 2010 I will stay a few months in Asia. I want to go from Vietnam to China. From China I'll fly back to Holland. Is it possible to get a China-visa in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City? And where exactly can I get one?

Thank you.

Hello dear,

I have a Dutch passport and my girlfriend a Vietnamese. We are staying in Vietnam now and would like to travel into China and Tibet. Can we get the visa in Hanoi for China and Tibet? Does my girlfriend need a visa for China too? Can I get the visa without any return ticket?

Thanks!

Mr.Edison replied:

Both you and your girlfriend need a visa to China, you can try to apply the visa at the China Embassy in Hanoi, Vietnam.
I think you are not able to get the vis awithout return air ticket.

I am a British passport holder currently in Vietnam (Hanoi) on a volunteer trip. I plan on visiting some family in Hong Kong who will be holidaying there. I know British passport holders don't need a Visa to get into Hong Kong but is it any different if I am flying in from Hanoi (not London, Manchester etc).

Best Wishes

it makes no difference where you depart, if only you are holding a valid British passport.

My manager is holding Chinese passport. His passport is going to expire before his Vietnamese visa. Please advise on this situation. We are in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Should he renew his passport or apply for a new passport?
And what is the process?
Any reply is appreciated.
Thank you

You don't need a visa for your entry into China. Vietnamese diplomatic, official and service passport holders are exempt from Chinese visa for their entry into China.

(I somehow posted this as a reply instead of an independent thread - I'll try again)

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.

Jun. 30,2009 22:33
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.

I tred to get a tourist visa yesterday at Chinese embassy in Hanoi along with various other prospective tourists. We were all told we could not get one in Hanoi. The security gaurd told me to go to Ho Chi Minh City, andthe counter operative said it had to be from my home country! I might try Hong Kong to get in, but this may also prove fruitless?

Jul. 11,2009 20:31
Mr.Adrian(Uk) replied:

You can try to confirn this with the Consulate-General of the People's Republic of China in Ho Chi Minh City firstly, if they can process the visa for you, you won't have to go to HK anymore.
In principle, you can get the China visa in HK.

Jul. 12,2009 22:20
Mr.Dan Bang(China) replied:

I have some embassy friends who helped me contact the Chinese Embassy in Hanoi - and they were given the same information. Foreigners cannot pick up a tourist L visa to China - for whatever reason. You can definitely get a Chinese visa in Hong Kong - I got a 2-entries x 30 days visa from the Chinese Embassy not too long ago. First try the Chinese Embassy - and if that doesn't work (which I'm sure it will) then just google "chinese visa hong kong" and loads of agents should pop up. I've only had good experiences with agents getting the visa for me. It's a bit more expensive - but they can always get it for you. Otherwise, try to check www.chinese-forums.com and look at the forum dedicated to visa questions. I even think that they still do express visas in the Hong Kong airport where you can get it within a few hours. Good luck! I'm sure it'll work out.
