Hello,

I have a question with regards to applying Chinese visa right now in Manila.

I have asked my travel agency to arrange my Chinese visa and they told me it was rejected due to the fact that I am considered a "First time traveller". I have been to China in 1994-95-96-97 for Shenzhen and have the visa stamp(the old visa stamp) in my old passport which I attached in my application. My question is, am I considered a first timer with regards to the application as I have been to China before.

Do I need to secure NBI clearances, Bank certificates, SSS and Income tax? I am working in our family business and I dont have a seperate income tax, would I be required to submit one then?

Many thanks for the answers
