Hi, me and my friend are going backpacking in South-East Asia in March and April, and the plan is to travel through China to get to Hong Kong. We are staying less than a week in China. My question is if it is possible to get a tourist Visa to China in Hanoi? We are both Norwegian citizens. Should this be a problem, or do we need to get the visa here in Norway befor we go? The problem is that we do not know the arrival date to China at this point, but we do know the arrival date to China when we are in Vietnam.

Regards,
Isabelle

I suggest that you get Chinese visa in Norway, generally speaking, tourist visa is valid for 3 months from the date of issuance, you should enter China before the date of ENTER BEFORE.

Hello. I am an American citizen and I have been living in Beijing for over three months. I am planning a trip to Ho Chi Mihn City for the Spring Festival. However, my Chinese (F) visa will expire in February and I am wondering if I will be able to get a six month tourist (L) or business (F) visa to China while I am in Vietnam. How much would it cost and how long might it take? Also, would it help if I had a letter of invitation from a school in Beijing. Thank you!

Mr.Helper replied:

yes, the letter of invitation letter from a school in beijing is helpful for visa application, the visa fee is US$130, it takes about 1 week for visa processing. Here I can't tell you an assuring answer that you can get a Chinese visa in Ho Chi Mihn City because the Chinese visa officer issue visa according to the nationality and diplomatic relations.

Mr.Smith(U.S.) replied:

Thank you very much for your response. Is the $30 visa fee for the 6 month tourist (L) or the business (F) visa?

Jan. 18,2010 22:06
Mr.Helper replied:

The visa fee is same for all kinds of Chinese visa, US 130 dollars no matter the number of entries
