Question

My 2 teenager kids and I are going on March 8-12, 2018 to Beijing China for sightseeing. We are US citizens and will be doing mission work in the Philippines on January 8- March 8, 2018.

Yes, you need to apply for tourist L type for that. Usually, one is advised to make the application one month prior to the trip, so you can do that in the Philippines in Feb., and it's possible for you to get the L type from there  as long as you have valid residence permit in the Philippines.

Thanks a lot! I am not a resident of the Philippines... we reside in the USA...we are just doing mission work there.. can I still get it from there?

Geraldine · Answer

If so, you are advised to make the application from your home country. You can apply for a 1-year one which costs the same as single-entry one.
