Hello Sir,

I am being invited for a visit by a friend who is a Chinese and I therefore will like you to clarify the following issues:

First I will like to know if one still requires a hotel reservation when the person who invited you for the visit has arranged a private accommodation at his/her place of residence? And also how does one make the hotel reservation in China from Ghana all the same?

Secondly does one need an original invitation from an authorized Chinese travel agency when the visit is not for tourism but to visit a friend?

How much travelers check is appropriate for at least a 30day stay?

Thank you,

Sincerely

PS: please kindly reply as it is so important to me.
