To whom it may concern
i am enquiring if i need a tourist visa for a one night stop over in China.
i will be onroute to Nth Korea to participate in a sporting event (volleyball) and i have been informed that i may have to stay one night in China so as the Nth Korean embassy can issue me with a visa to enter Nth Korea.
I am a permanent resident of Japan and an Australian passport holder.
If i require a visa can i obtain one if i visit the chinese consulate in Fukuoka on Thursday?
What is the total cost if a visa is required?
I dont have any travel documents yet from the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) but i have an official fax confirming travel dates etc from the FIVB.
If i have to stop over in China i have been told Nth Korea will organise everything for me.
I am sorry this is all at short notice so i need to obtain a visa if required tomorrow.
thank you for your assistance
