Hello,

I am going to back packing around the world starting from Oct the 13th and will not be entering into China until the 15th March 2011 and leaving China on the 4th April 2011.
The Chinese Embassy here in London, have told me I can not apply for a tourist Visa before I leave on the 13th Oct as it is to early.

I have been suggest to get the Visa at the Embassy in Thailand, however the only dates I can hand over my passport are either 21st and 22nd January 2011 or the 7th and 8th of February 2011.
Is it possible to get my Visa process rushed with in 24hours?
And also, how long will a single entre Visa (L) last for?
Many Thanks
