Dear Derek, thanks for your reply telling me that I, as an Australian citizen, can get a G or L type for PRC in Kathmandu. I will only need it because of two necessary transits on my way back to Sydney. Can I ask you - are you another tourist or are you a MFA official? If you are an official then I know that your opinion can be relied upon. If you are another tourist then I am a bit worried that I might get stuck during my transit in Guangzhou and Shanghai because I will have to exit onto PRC land twice. Please excuse this inquiry but I foolishly chose a return ticket that takes me Kathmandu-Bangkok-Guangzhou-Shanghai-Sydney. It means that I will need a domestic flight CAN-Shanghai and change the airports in Shanghai. A complicated ticket and all my fault for buying it and getting stuck with needing a visa. Thank you for your patience, Helena
