Ni hao ma! I am Ally, an overseas worker in Jeddah. I am a Filipino National and I plan to visit Philippines, Hongkong, China and Japan this May 2009. The stay will be less than 5 days in each country. I am completely at a loss what to do. Should I buy my tickets here in Saudi Arabia and apply for a visa here? Can you recommend any travel agency here in Jeddah, seeing that a single tourist visa application is not accepted in the embassy. Furthermore, I have a a friend who is a Saudi National who wants to come with me in the same itinerary. Would it be more practical for me and my Saudi National friend to apply in a travel agency in Philippines? Your response will be highly appreciated.
