Hello,
I am a Polish citizen, living and working in Denmark as an employee of the European Union administratikon. I hold an ordinary Polish passport (not diplomatic).

I am planning to go to China for four weeks vacation in July. May I ask the following questions:


1) my planned route takes me from Beijing (entry into China) via eastern China down to Hongkong. from Hongkong I take the flight back to Copenhagen. Normally a single entry visa would be sufficient, but my return flight is from Hongkong via Beijing.

Please let me know if transit via Beijing airport requires an entry visa? I am connecting from a China Airlines flight HKG-PEK to a SAS flight PEK-CPH, with a stopover of 3 hours.

2) how much time should I allow in this situation (non-Danish citizen) to apply for a Chinese visa?

3) what is the cost for a single entry / double entry visa.

Thank you very mych in advance,

Pawel
