NEW COUNTRY, OLD PASSPORT
Hi, i am a holder of a valid passport of former Yugoslavia. The passport was issued by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, state with which P.R. of China had a mutual agreement on exemption on visa fees. In 2003 Yugoslavia transofmered into Serbia-Montenegro and in 2003 it splitted into two countries: Serbia and Montenegro. In 2008 the Republic of Serbia started issuing new (Serbian) passports. Following that, in May 2010, the rules regarding the chineese visa fees have been revised. New visa fees have been introduced, different for citizens of Serbia and for citizens of Montenegro.
So, i would like to know: me, today, as a holder of a passport that is still recognized internationally but that was issued by a state that doesn't exists any more, what is the rule that should apply for me regarding the visa fee for China? Am i still exempt from the Chineese visa fee as long as my Yugoslav passport is valid? Otherwise how do they determine whether i'm citizen of Montenegro or Serbia? What if i'm holding the citizenship of both above-mentionned countries? Thank you.
