Getting a visa in surrounding countries. by inwestend
I'm in the process of getting an M-Visa (I have an invitation). But I want to apply in SE Asia, or possibly Hong Kong, rather than fly all the way back to my home country, (and incur long haul flights and expense) - just for a visa ...

I got my Visa from Chiang Mai today. They knocked me down to just 60 days one entry. In fact, the girl at the counter told me that's what I'd get before she even looked at my form. They seem to make it up as they go along - depending on ... Read More

@Catherine - Are you sure I can get a Visa inside China? I asked this question once on a forum, and the answer was - no. Is this legal? Has anyone else got a visa INSIDE China? (in recent times). @Alven - A 30 day L-Visa is definitely not ... Read More

Visa Extensions in Leshan by inwestend
Are (Tourist) Visa extensions at the Leshan PSB still easier than Chengdu PSB? Has anyone extended a visa recently? Apparently, the rules have changed - and some places in China won't extend tourist visas now.

@Alven. To be clear - are you saying that I could have got my M-Visa without leaving China? Is that what you're telling me? You're asking if I have other contacts... why? Are you a Software Developer? Read More

@Alven, Thanks. So the situation has changed. In the past, it was well known that Leshan was easier than Chengdu. When you say "U can change ur visa to others" - Do you mean you can do it inside China?? I'm actually getting an ... Read More

@shagm: Thank you for sharing the information. I asked my original question back in 2013, and even since then - it looks like things have changed A LOT. Back In 2013, proof of funds was vital (preferably in a Chinese Bank), and a flight ticket was ... Read More
