About:Chinese Embassy in U.K.

HI,

I am a UK Passport holder travelling back from Australia into Asia and then hopefully up through China for a few weeks.

I will be going first to Kong Kong then Vietnam / Cambodia / Thailand and Laos back to Vietnam before my travels into China.

Would you be able to tell me where would be best to apply for the Visa and if Hong Kong, how long will the Visa last as I will not be ready to use it for about 2months. Also how long will it take to issue and what documents are required.

I am unlikely to have accomodation booked as hoping to do adhoc, but will have last leg of Journey/flight back to UK booked before entering China. Is this suffucient?

Many Thanks

Jo Z

Thank you for the information - but could you also tell me how long this visa will last upon issuance, as I will be travelling elsewhere for the first 2months approximately

it takes four working days, that is to say , if you submit your application on Monday, you can get the visa on Friday.

Again - how long does the VISA last as I will be leaving Hong Kong and travelling elsewhere for up to two months first. If it is not long enough - where can I apply for a Visa in Hanoi / Vietiane / Bangkok?

Hi, Mr. John, you are welcome! are you in Auckland or Switzerland now? In Principle, you need apply for a Transit Visa in Chinese embassy or consulate in Switzerland or U.K. because you live in Switzerland but hold U.K. Passport.

PS: The Chinese embassy or consulate in Switzerland only accept application from Swisses and other citizens who reside in Switzerland.

You just need a Transit Visa for enter Shanghai and leave the airport in Shanghai.
