Hello! I just received the email confirming my tourist visa (July 22). I live in MP, so I'll have to fly to Delhi to submit my passport on July 24.

Question:

My flight to China (edit) is on 6 August. Do they give you the option to collect your passport in person instead of having it mailed back?

The standard processing time for normal service is 6 business days, plus courier time (which I'm not sure about). I'm wondering if I could collect my passport on 5 August, assuming they'll hold it for a while after it's ready and stamped.

Hello all,

I am currently applying for a new job and everything has been going well. Except now suddenly they are asking for Chinese translations of half of my documents like my degree and such.

Has anyone had this come up before? I worked in Sichuan before and also in Korea and never needed to get my documents translated. Is this an issue for the school, or for province, or is this an old rule that has been abolished that the school doesn't know has changed?

Hi, I’m applying for my husband’s dependent visa in Hong Kong . I have a loan of HK$150k and my credit score currently is I. my savings were HK$0 last month and HK$50k from this month. Questions: 1. Can I submit statements showing zero then HK$50k, or should I wait for 3 straight months of HK$50k+? 2. Official docs don’t mention credit reports, but some say it’s required. Does my credit score affect the application.

Hi folks. I have a flight from Bangalore- Singapore- Beijing- Ulaanbataar and same return.
However, the PNR is different. I have one PNR until Beijing and another PNR from Beijing to Ulaanbataar. The layover is less than 12 hours. I am an Indian passport holder

Will i be eligible for TWOV?
Will singapore airlines let me board in Bangalore without a china visa?

To be on the safer side- i applied for a transit Visa for china but haven’t yet gotten an approval online.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Me: born in US and have lived there all my life. Also have Taiwanese citizenship with household registration and Thai citizenship

Father: born in mainland China in 1942, family moved to Taiwan because of the war. Has Taiwanese and US citizenship, lives in the US

Mother: deceased, but had Thai and US citizenship

I don't actually know if my father became a US citizen or had a green card before or after I was born, but I can ask. It sounds like this is important to know to determine my eligibility for a visa?

Mom became a US citizen before I was born, but I'm guessing that's not important because she wasn't Chinese.

What are my (good/convenient) options for visiting China as a tourist?

Hi everyone,

I made a huge mistake by not saving the form I did for my boss for a tourist visa application. I have initially filled out where it says "if I had a chinese visa before" and "if I ever went to China before" I should've put yes instead of a no. I know I can no longer edit that since I have already submitted the form though it wasn't paid yet. Application says preliminary review in progress. Do you think I have to fill out a new application? How does that work?

I appreciate the respectful responses.

Running close on time, will rush. My teen will be staying with a friend, is it better to use their home address and a letter or a hotel. No flight booked yet, because waiting on Visa. I’m lost - any help ASAP is appreciated.

PS - the photo is approved!

hello, I am not sure if I’ve missed a step or what .. kind of panicking tbh

My employer said yesterday that my work permit was approved on their end in China, that I am to turn in my passport and get my visa now here in the states.

the paper they sent me says “NOTIFICATION LETTER OF FOREIGNER’S WORK PERMIT

IN THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

（WORKING PERIOD OF MORE THAN 90 DAYS）”

i had planned to use an agency as im In FL and my Chinese embassy location is Washington DC ( this one charges $60 service fee , $60 more for priority submission then the regular gov fee for visa ) vs a flight currently is around $250-450 doesn’t include Ubers lunch etc to go in person for the day. Plus the gov fee.

but problem is that they want the “submit passport now” off COVA..

im hoping i Understand correctly and I just need to submit my cova application on my side now? Was I able to do it before, I asked the school and they said no they have to apply for me..

how long is cova application gonna take if I have my permit paper ?

thank u!

should add that I had asked for 1-2 weeks of time before teachers go back for PD week; they said arrive before August 7 or after the 14th due to a employe’s schedule aka the person picking me up and doing all the arrival stuff; is Before August 7 even possible with this time frame?

the agency gives a time frame of 6-10 business days after they have the passport n documents in hand ( I’d do 2 day shipping to them) and then the 2 day shipping to me back.
