Hello,

My husband and I (who are both Australian citizens) are about to start an extended world-wide trip. We will be entering China on an organised tour from Mongolia in June 2010, and leaving from Beijing approximately 1 week later. I believe we need a single entry Chinese visa to cover our stay?

As we will shortly be leaving Australia, we would like to apply for our visa's now. Our question is, will the visa's be valid for three months from the date they are issued, or from the date that we enter China?

Thank you very much for your assistance.
