Many Thanks Mark Available in Bangkok Via Embassy if you are going to fly direct into Shenzen, OR if you fly to Hong Kong and get Ferry or Train across you can get Visa on Entry very easy, Shenzhen maybe 20 Mins on the ferry which is easy fast and cheap.

Many Thanks Mark You can get Chinese visa at Chinese embassy at Rajchada Phisek Road, (Rajchada Phisek Soi 3 I think, where newr by Fortune Town / CP Tower 2). Best choice for you is applying tourist visa. which take 3-4 working days or 1 day express. Visa fee is about 1200 for normal one. Only documents needed are passport plus photo, and you will get application form there. By the way, the office hour is 0930-1130 mon-fri good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner1943 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 The last time I went to Shekou , a few months ago, I landed from the ferry from Macau and notice that there was still a sign saying visa's could not be issued to American Citizens at this office, visa on entry office. I have not been back since so have no idea if it has changed over the past couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maithigh Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Be careful of the guys hanging around the Xray machine at the entrance. They wear ties, carry a bundle of applications and look "official". I thought they were from the embassy but realized they were agents when they asked me for 4000 B. rush in when the doors open, grab a number, fill in the form and wait your turn. I pay 1800 B and get the visa (single entry) on the same day at 3pm prices cud have changed recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linglop Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hi, lm planning on travelling to Shenzhen China from Bangkok at the end of September for buisness, could anyone tell me if visas are obtainable at the Chinese embassy in Bangkok or do l need to apply in the UK. Many Thanks Mark The Chinese Embassy Bangkok is a five minute walk from Rama 9 subway station. Best not to attend on a Monday as very busy. A six month multiple entry visa for China costs Baht 2,200 and can be had in three days. The 0830 hours rush is best avoided. Arrive at 0930 hours, pick up a queue ticket and you can be in and out in five to ten minutes provided you do not attend on a Monday. USA and Thai citizens are charged twice that amount for the same visa. A visa form can be downloaded from the web. You pay when you pick up visa - go to window number one to pay and window number two to pick up. Visa charges are displayed on the right hand wall when you walk in.
