I am writing to find out the way I have to apply for a Chinese visa.
I am planning to travel 1-16 June. I am attending the Asia for Animals Conference in Chengdu but beforehand I would like to visit a friend in Shanghai.

I am a Hungarian citizen, live and work in Phuket, Thailand. I would like to know what type of visa I need to apply for and if I can apply in Phuket. Also how long it takes and how much it cost to receive the visa and what documents do I need to take with me?

Thank you very much for your help and looking forward to hearing from you
Regards
