[Aizen-Sama]

thanks travelbug

[prEttyNdisTress]

Aizen-Sam - Good Luck sa pag apply. Manilis lang yan and I'm sure ma approve ka. San ka China pupunta?




**I need a break and a fresh air!

[Aizen-Sama]

Hi prEttyNdisTress thanks.

Sa Shanghai kami pupunta.

By the way, nag inquire kami sa travel agency (Uni Orient & Pan Pacific), bakit parang ang higpit ng requirements nila for first timers sa mainland China.

Heto yung mga hiningi nila
ITR
Bank Certificate
NBI Clearance
Employment Certificate

Akala ko dati kaunti lang like yung Booked airline tickets, hotel voucher

[TravelBug]

Depende din sa travel history mo. In my case, I already have visas to other countries that's why they only asked for my ticket and hotel voucher. Actually, application form lang and passport but I left them copies of my ticket and hotel reservation just in case the embassy would look for them.

Makukuha daw ang resulta ng visa application sa Nov. 28, 2008 or sa ikatlong araw. Ang Fee per applicant is PhP 2,500.00. Babayaran sa araw ng pick-up (Approved or Denied)

2500 per person? hindi ba 1400 lang ang single entry?

[ejosef]

Hi! Just to confirm... Still no word on whether one can get a Chinese visa again in HK, like before?

[guo_mei_xin]

2500 per person? hindi ba 1400 lang ang single entry?

double entry ata kinuha niya. 1400 lang kasi pag single entry

[glads0826]

hi... magtatanong lang po sana.... puwede pa ba magpagawa ng china visa sa border ng hk and shenzhen? salamat po sa mga sasagot.

@aizen-sama.... when kayo punta sa shanghai?

[Aizen-Sama]

We are scheduled to leave on the first week of Feb.
Ewan ko nga eh pero ang daming requirements na hinihingi nung Pan Pacific. Sinabi ko naman na nakapag travel na rin naman ako kahit paano pero requirements daw talaga.

[kiki_komikuto]

baka naging mas mahigpit sila ngayon. although when we went applied last july 2008 ang binigay ko lang the passports, e-ticket, accommodations cert, at fee

malamig pa dito during that time. be sure to bring warm clothes.

pwede naman na diretso din kayo apply sa chinese embassy. kung naka travel ka na sa china before, pwede mo dalhin yung lumang passport na may china visa. baka makatulong. pag 1st timers talaga mahirap kumuha ng visa. daming hinihingi.

[TravelBug]

Yan din sabi ng travel agent ko. Pag meron na China visa dati, application form and passport na lang ang kelangan.

[Aizen-Sama]

^^^ Ahh malamang nga.
Haven't been to mainland China before.
Well, I am almost complete with my docos. I hope my visa gets approved.

[waterwell]

double entry ata kinuha niya. 1400 lang kasi pag single entry

yup, 1400 lang alam ko. when i applied for double entry last year, i only paid 2100 pesos.

btw, nag-proxy ako for my officemates sa pag-apply ng visa nila to china kanina. apparently, di pala pwede pag friends lang kayo, pero ok lang kung officemates. i had to show my company id to prove na officemates nga kami. first time din nila to china, and i only gave the embassy yung passport and application form. super bilis lang din ng pila kanina. in less than 20 mins, natapos ko agad.

[Aizen-Sama]

^^^^ waterwell wala nang mga supporting documents kang pinakita on their behalf? lahat ba sila first time sa mainland China?

[waterwell]

^^^^ waterwell wala nang mga supporting documents kang pinakita on their behalf? lahat ba sila first time sa mainland China?

yup, first time nila. no supporting documents, although dala ko yung plane ticket copy and hotel reservation. i don't think ganon sila ka-strict ngayon as compared to olympics. feeling ko talaga parang negosyo lang for them yung pag-issue ng visa.

[Aizen-Sama]

^^^^
so mas ok pa pala na magpunta na lang dun sa embassy directly. may naka post ba dun kung ano yung nirerequire nila? or dun mo na malalaman kung hihingan ka ng iba pang docs?

[Aizen-Sama]

Hi guys, tanong ko lang saan malapit yung World Center Building? Ano yung nearest landmark? Saka anong oras nag bubukas yung embassy ng China? Thanks

[waterwell]

yup! plus makakatipid ka pa. may naka-post don sa embassy, but all you need are your passport, ticket, hotel voucher, application form, 2x2 picture. sa harap ng mapua yung world trade center along buendia. if you're coming from edsa, nasa left side sya, before mag-rcbc plaza.

[Aizen-Sama]

what time does it open? saka hanggang anong oras?
