Question

I am an Italian citizen and an American one, with 2 passports, who resides permanently in Japan. Can I apply for a tourist visa to visit China using my Italian passport if my Japanese permament residency visa is attached to my American passport? Thank you.

Mr.Dale · Answer

We're sorry to inform you that only aliens holding Japanese long-stay visa )more than one year) could apply China L tourist visa from the Chinese embassy in Tokyo.

Mr.Schreiber · Answer

Thank you for your response Mr. Dale (or is it just Dale?), but you seem to have misunderstood my question. I am a permanent resident in Japan, so obviously I have a long-stay visa. Have much longer can you get than forever?

Mr.Dale · Answer

Dear Schreiber, sorry for my mistake. If so, you could apply the China visa in Chinese embassy in Japan. Welcome!

Mr.Schreiber · Answer

Yes, but can I apply as an Italian citizen, and pay only 4,000 yen, even though my Japanese visa was issued to me as an American?

Mr.Dale · Answer

Maybe you have to use your American passport, for your Japanese visa is based on it.
