Hi,

I am an Australian living in China on a Z visa. My girlfriend is a Filipina. I want to invite her to come and stay with me. Some questions:

1. It states that she needs a hotel reservation. Does that still apply as she is staying with me?
2. Should I write her a letter of invitation?
3. Should I put my name down as her inviter?
4. Is there a 30 day limit for Philipinas on a Tourist (L) visa?
5. Any other information you could give that would help her application would be highly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance...
