leaving sept. 1st. 2019, have flights booked (non-refundable), hotels, tours, etc.

Question

When is the best time to apply for the Visa.    Also just a couple of questions.  #1.  Does anyone has experience with what the airlines do if the Visa is refused?    #2.  The same questions with the tour groups based in China, if the Visa is not approved.

Selena · Answer

Dear, the best time to apply is one month before your departure. If you book non-refundable tickets, the airlines will not give your money back if your visa is refused, but you can possibly use the 144hrs visa-free transit for a brief tour in China and you can change the flights. What the tour agency will do is hard to say but you can negotiate with it before making the booking.
