i'm a french student in chinai want to travel to japan in july, but if i go to japan

Question

I'm a French student in China and I want to travel to Japan in july, but if I go to Japan I can't go back to China (I've got a visa F with only one entry already used for my entry from France to China). My university said to me that I had to make another visa in Japan to come back in China. I would like to kinow if it is really possible and which document I have to give to the ambassy in order to have this visa which would allow me to go back in China (and what kind of visa I have to ask for). It's really annoy me at this time, and I really would like to know if I can go to Japan without worrying about my return in China. Thank you very much!Liz

You can go to Japan and then apply for an L visa for China at the Chinese embassy or consulates in Japan.

Thank you for your answer, but I read somewhere that to apply for a L visa  we have to be resident of Japan... But I'm not a resident! Is it true or can we apply for a l visa  even if we are not a resident? If we really can, which documents to we have to give? Thanx very much!

The embassy's site does say thatTourism Visa  (L) to the Chinese mainland(ONLY FOR THE ALIENS HOLDING JAPANESE LONG-STAY VISA(MORE THAN ONE YEAR).Check the site:http://www.china-embassy.or.jp/chn/lsfw/qzyw/t331452.htm#E4I am not sure how does the application  work in reality. Anyone has the experience?

Ms.Liz · Answer

That is on that site that I saw that we have to be a resident... And it is not very clear if it really works like this, maybe the site is not updated and this rule has changed... I hope so! I tried to call the embassy (from China, so really expensive)to know , but nobody answered, or it is an automatic voice :/ (and my chinese is not really good)... I would like to know so much if I really can have a L visa! (Or maybe a F visa if I can give again the documents from my university, even if my semester is ending soon :/)... I'm waiting, and I'm worry!
