I'll be going to the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok at the beginning of February for visas for myself and my Thai gf for a one-month trip beginning early April. I've read a recent posting about how the downloadable forms are out-of-date. Any new info? Will we be able to get the visas the same day? Any pitfalls to avoid? Thanks!

Hi, I am a Chinese citizen.

Of course you and your gf can get a visa at the same day if you guys are gonna apply at same day!

You can let a local travel agency to do the visa for you but not to travel with the agency.

but if you are going to travel by yourself, you can make a question list and let your gf to call the Chinese visa consular section next to the embassy on Ratchada Rd. (soi 2, Close to MRT Rama 9 station).
