To the Honorable Ambassador: Mr. Wang Xiaoyuan,

My name is Wenyu Liu, I am a Chinese national my passport number is 452501650812074. For the past 6 months I have been living in Panama with my husband who is an American citizen. My passport will expire this month and as you know there is no Chinese Embassy or Consulate in Panama. I wish to come to our embassy in Costa Rica to renew my passport. However, I have been informed I cannot get a visa to enter Costa Rica unless my passport is good for at least 6 months.

Can you please advise me how may I get a temporary extension on my visa, or what I can do so that I can go to our Embassy in Costa Rica to renew my passport. As my passport expires on March 21, I would very greatly appreciate your earliest response. You can reach me at 507-6805 by phone or by fax at 507-720-1019, or by E-Mail at aol.com|DonMusa. If you can also tell me what documents I need if any to renew my passport besides my passport.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Wenyu Liu
