About:Chinese Embassy in Japan
Application for American from Japan
Hello all, I am a student who will be studying abroad in Japan for a year, and I would like to visit China with my girlfriend while I am there. It is my understanding that I will have to go through a travel agency, but under what conditions would a visa be required for me?
