i am a us citizen, currently a resident of china, vacationing in thailand.

Question

I am a US citizen, currently a resident of China, vacationing in Thailand. I have lost my US passport containing my Chinese employment visa. I have an appointment to get the US passport replaced tomorrow (2 Feb 2011), however I see by other postings that the Chinese embassy is closed 2-8 Feb 2011.  I have a copy of the passport page containing my Chinese visa.  Do I have to stay in China until the visa office opens up, or can I reenter China or must I stay in Thailand until the chinese office reopens? Thankyou for your urgent reply.

Mr.JOHNNASH · Answer

You have to stay in Thailand until the the visa office of China embassy in Bangkok reopens, once you get your new passport, you have to apply for a new China visa on your passport to return to China, the copy of your passport page containing your Chinese visa is helpful for your application.
