hi there, i'm hoping to travel around China in September of this year and i'm applying for my double entry L visa now as I'll be leaving to travel overland next Saturday all being well via Europe, Russia and Mongolia. it states on the website that for the L visa 'Necessary travel information, such as the two-way flight details and itinerary, is required'. i just wonder what is meant by this as of course i cant provide copies of train tickets, it being so far in advance. i plan to go as far as shanghai before hopping over to Japan for a stint before returning to China. Also, what is meant by name and address of inviter or contact? finally, is it possible for an Irish citizen to apply for a Chinese visa anywhere else in Europe? eg. Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin. Any help to any or all of these queries is very much appreciated.
