Hi There.

I am a Canadian citizen travelling right now. I am currently in Singapore, but am leaving for KL, Malaysia in the next few days. I want to end up in Beijing for the beginning of February but I am worried about getting my Chinese Visa.

I was planning on getting an 'L' visa from KL while I was visiting there. Ideally, I would like to get a dual entry 6 month visa. Is it possible for a Canadian who is just visiting Malaysia to get this kind of visa there from the Chinese embassy? Or can I only get a single entrance visa? I will have a temporary tourist visa from the Malaysian immigration. Do I have to be working in Malaysia to get the visa? Or can I just be a tourist and get it?

If it's not possible, then can I get one from Singapore?

Also -- I was in Korea recently, and they told me that if I wasn't working in the country, I could not rush process a visa. Do you know if that's true for KL? I would like to get the visa in 3 days (the 6 month dual entry). I don't mind paying the extra fees if it's possible. I'm just worried because a lot of what I'd read on the internet said that I wouldn't be able to do that if I'm not working in Malaysia. But I think that was only consistent when the Olympics were going on.

If you could give me as much information as possible about getting a visa in KL (or, if I can't there, then Singapore) that would be great.

Thank you for answering my questions as quickly as possible!
