Question

Hi, I'm currently traveling in South East Asia and wish to return home to Ireland via Hong Kong at the end of my trip. I understand that as an Irish Passport holder I do not require a visa to enter HK but I am looking to travel overland between Vietnam and HK and would like to know the situation with regard to getting a Chinese visa? Is it possible to get a Chinese Visa in Vietnam as I will not be returning to Ireland in advance of this trip? I will be in both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, can I get a visa here? Please let me know any requirements for getting this Visa.

Mr.Lebrown · Answer

You are able to obtain a Chinese visa in Ho Chi Minh City. Besides the passport, application form, hotel and air tickets, you are also required to present a Vietnamese visa or residence permit.

Air tickets? Are these for entering or leaving the country? I will be leaving from Hong Kong and entering overland via Vietnam. Do I need to purchase a train/bus ticket in advance, crossing into China, before I can get my Visa? Also do I need hotel accomodation booked for the duration of my visit in China or just my first night? Thanks for your help.

Mr.Lebrown · Answer

Travel Overland? So you should probably purchase train tickets instead of air tickets. The hotel accomodation booked for your first night may be ok.
