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.
