d2jlr Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Hi Due to family bereavement(s) I have been unable to arrange a Chinese Tourist Visa in UK and have ran out of time prior to travel. Is there any problem with arranging it at the Chinese Embassy in Thailand while my wife and I are in Bangkok for two weeks? I had heard it is up to the Chinese official if someone applies from a foreign country ( to Thailand) and the person is on holiday so we are aware it is not guaranteed! I would like to hear from anyone who has any experience of trying in Bangkok to get a single entry tourist visa for China but are not Thai or permanent resident. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaoPo Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I don't think you will face any problems; just go to the China Embassy and apply for tourist visas: http://www.chinaembassy.or.th/eng/lsfw/ http://www.chinaembassy.or.th/eng/lsfw/qzxk/t18417.htm http://www.chinaembassy.or.th/eng/lsfw/qzxk/t164568.htm Some people prefer to avoid the hassle and have it done by a travel agent; you pay a fee but you don't have to do waiting time and take multiple taxis. Maybe ask your hotel or friends for assistance. Although I didn't read this topic myself, you can find valuable information here: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Visa-Agents-t321466.html Good Luck.

linglop Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Avoid applying for a visa on a Monday which is extremely busy. Take the Bangkok subway to Rama 9 and walk north to the chinese embassy. The visa application form can be obtained from the man on the desk at the entrance on the first floor. Take a queue ticket, complete the form and hand in form and passport when your number is called. You pay for the visa when you return to the embassy after three days. The price of visas is displayed on the right hand side of the room. When picking up visa, go to extreme left hand side counter and pay. Collect your passport frpm the next counter. A multiple entry visa to china lasts for six months. Enjoy your trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
