Queries Regarding Application for Five Year Tourist Visa
Hi
I am currently applying for a five year L-Tourist visa and I have some questions regarding entries on the application form. Please can you advise.
1) Sections 1.15 and 1.16 request the names of my parents and their address. Both my parents are deceased, so should I put 'deceased' in the address field or enter their address at date of death? Alternatively, as they are no longer living, should I tick the 'not applicable' box and not enter any information about my parents?
2) Section 1.8 requests 'Place of Issue' for my passport. UK passports do not include a place of issue, but instead list the issuing authority with no location. What answer should I enter?
3) Section 2.4 under 'Date of Departure from China' requests 'Arrival train/ship/flight No'. Is this supposed to be 'Departure train/ship/flight No'? In other words, should I enter the flight on which I arrived into China or the one on which I am departing?
4) I have had two previous 2 year L visas, the last of which expired in November 2021. I wish to now apply for the new five year multiple entry visa, but I can't see anywhere on the application form to request that option. How do I do request the five year visa?
