First, prepare all the documents including your passport, application form, photo, residence permit in Sydney, and round-trip tickets and hotel bookings. Second, make an appointment on the website of the CVASC in Sydney. If you don't wanna do this, skip this step. Third, go to the CVASC in Sydney to submit the required documents.

Asked by Julie from AUSTRALIA | Nov. 04, 2019 19:24

Which visa do I need?

I am an Australian citizen and will be on a cruise ship that is travelling from Japan, stopping next at Tianjin port (for Beijing) for a day, then sailing to Shanghai, stopping for a day, then sailing to Hong Kong.
I would like to get off in each Chinese port.
Do I qualify for either the 72 or 144 hour TWOV or do I need to get a Tourist visa?
Thanks
Julie from Sydney

Answered by Nelson from CANADA | Nov. 05, 2019 22:11

Julie, you need to get a visa because you stop in both Beijing and Shanghai, which goes against the rules of 72 or 144 hours TWOV.

Travelling for business mother accompanying

Hi there, I am travelling to Shanghai for work (I'm a journalist on a story trip) and my mother is joining me. Does she apply for a tourist visa and me a business visa (I have a letter of invitation for us both).
Also for the rush service if submitted before noon when will the visa be ready, the next day or the same day?
Thank you in advance.

Your mother can either apply for a business or tourist visa.
If you use the rush service and submit before 12 o'clock noon, you can get the visa on the next day.
