China Travel Guide II

[angelvenus]

sis thank you po in advance. atleast [textspeak!] ibang requirement na lang ang ayusin ko.. hayy.. hirap naman mgtour. gn2 b talaga mgayos ng visa. sana sa puerto princesa na lang kami nghoneymoon. hayy...

[coldsiren]

grabe nga sila sa dami ng requirements. Mas madali kong naprepare yung requirements ng tourist visa ng japan at US. Sabi tuloy ng dad ko wag na daw kami mag punta kung ganito ka hirap iprepare yung documents.
Sana nga enough na yung 55k na show money.
Mabilis ba yung visa processing? We're leaving on the 19th of sept. We will be getting our renewed passport by the 25th of aug. Could we apply for the visa 2 weeks before our trip?
Is 2 weeks enough to wait for the visa approval?

[superbe]

i've talk to some friends and sabi nila the amount daw na required in the bank is depende sa lenght of stay mo. And there are cases that they really would like to see higher amount if never ka pang nakapag travel in other countries. They just want to make sure that you really can afford to travel. They don't really tell naman how much eh. Ang nagsasabi lang ng exact amount are the agencies kaya we are all confused. Goodluck to all of us who are getting visas. Sana lahat maapprove!

[coldsiren]

^ so if we have travelled to other countries we don't really have to worry about the visa? We just have to comply with the documents that the embassy is asking, right? If that's the case my travel companions and i should get our visa since we have been to several countries already.

May certificate of employment na ako with approved vacation leaves (with travel date), kaso hindi naka breakdown yung bonuses ko, pwede na kaya yun? Or do i have to get
 a new one?

reminder lang guys, may karapatan ang chinese embassy or kahit sino anong country's embassy humingi ng kahit anong requriements. may the country be greater or smaller or poorer compare to Europe and US, they have the right. fyi din, China is richer compare to Europe and US. Sila lang walang utang. china may be dirtier, the people may have less manners, but let's face the fact na they're the most powerful right now. just imagine, if they pull out their investments in US, lubog ang US.

i'm not pro-China, pero the fact na "naiirita" and "naiinis" mga tao sa chinese embassy kasi dami requirements blah blah blah, parang ang weird naman. common sense lang naman na the fact that we're applying for a visa in an embassy means wala tayong karapatan magtravel sa bansa nila, that's why we're asking for permission to enter their country and have a tour there. so it's up to them if they'll allow us or not.

[iluvescadasport]

^thats good news. over naman ang 6-digits, ano sila japan?

hindi. pero they're the most powerful now.

you can apply for 2 weeks before your trip. check the philippine holidays lang. kasi if mga holidays, sarado din sila.

Has anyone tried Yangtze River cruise?

[iluvescadasport]

^is it the same with the gorges river cruise? or iba?

[Vera]

^I think iba.

[mitch2526]

Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Pag ba meron kang Chinese visa, majejeopardize ang future visa applications mo to US, Japan, UK, etc? May nagsabi kasi sakin, ewan ko kung joke o founded on some factual events.

[iluvescadasport]

^never heard of that pa. siguro if may visa ka to north korea, baka majeopardize future visa applications mo to other countries. pero majeopardize future visa mo to other countries because you have chinese visa, parang impossible considering the fact china is the most powerful (although not the most cleanest and not the most disciplined) and a lot of western countries are investing in China

better if you ask what hotel. tapos check mo sa net yun rate ng hotel per night. tapos ask na rin which airline. and try to estimate mga door entrance expenses. If you add everything, tapos almost 40k din, worth it na.
