Dear Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Malaysia,

I would like to apply for a chinese L visa but don't know when I exactly will be entering China (because of the fact that I will be travelling in South-east Asia for a unknown period before entering China). What should I write on the visa application?

I would also like to know if I will be able to get an L visa because if I want enter China overland from either Vietnam or Laos and will be leaving China from either Shanghai/Beijing or Hong Kong.

Thank you in advance.

Lucien
