Notes:

1. The times quoted for visa processing is estimated only and we do not hold any responsibility for which the passport returned delayed than usual. We recommend that you apply for your visa in good time, ideally one month before departure. It is not possible to obtain a visa more that 3 months prior to the intended entry date.

2. Chinese Tourist Visas are valid for entry into China from all points specified by the Chinese Government. Duration of stay for a visa may vary. Single or double entry visas are normally valid for 90 days and you must enter China before the date specified on the visa. Extensions may be obtained from local police stations (Public Security Bureau) in most cities within China for a small fee. Multiple entry visas are normally valid for 6 months and are only issued for business visitors. Please note that your passport must be valid for a minimum of 9 months.

3. A special permit is required to enter Tibet which can only be obtained by pre-booking a fully-inclusive tour. Visitors to Tibet will still be required to obtain a Chinese visa.

4. The charges for processing business visas are the same as above and applicable to all nationalities.

5. Please note that the issue of a Chinese Visa is subject to the consent of the Chinese Embassy. Therefore, in the unlikely event that your application is denied, Ying Wah Travel will not be held responsible.
