visa for back pack from malaysia
dear all,
I have been to beijing for two time and most of time on meeting friends and sightseeing in beijing. I usually will not stay more than 10 days in Beijing. I apply L in Kuala Lumpur. But effective 1/9/2013 the new rule for Malaysian L category where malaysia whom travel alone will need to get local tour group and cannot travel alone. I try to get the consul and they cannot reach for comment.
Now my problem is I have all my ticket and hotel booking fully paid before 1/8/2013. My question is do I need to travel in Tour Group as I prefer to wine and dine with my Local Beijing friend.
Second my wife is first time travel to Beijing and i did not want to let her down as she did not want to join the tour group. We have limited budget and i hoping someone can guide me here.
thank you.
