I am from Philippines and my husband currently works in a hotel in Haikou,China. I am planning to visit him and stay there for at least one (1)month because he has been there for two (2) years now. What documents do I need to submit? Can I be granted a month stay there? What is the first step that I should make? Your recording in Chinese Embassy here in the Philippines says that I must have a round trip ticket and hotel booking. How can I purchase tickets and book in hotels if I don't have a visa yet. Is it not the VISA that I should apply for first? Please help me. I really need to see him soon because I miss him. I hope you understand.
