guidelines are liable to change without notice - as
during the Olympic Games

2a. The Country of Issue determines
which set of Chinese visa regulations apply to you personally.
Normally you can only obtain information regarding visa's
issued in your home country
2b. Usually, visa's issued in other
Countries apply the same rules as those of issue in
your home Country, but please check first
2c. Due to new restrictions, all Chinese
visa's now require some form of Official Government
invitation - except Tourist Visa's.
These now require a Personal Invitation or Hotel Booking
Confirmation, as well as Return Flight

to vocational Teachers. You now need
to be Officially Appointed by a Government or Educational
Institution, for a set period (Often 1-year). It is
illegal to work in China without the right visa! |
