Anyone have any experience of getting a visa to visit China. I'd like to try and get out there next week for a trade show. Anyone know how long it takes or has anyone used one of the fast track websites?

Don't expect to come back other than in a box though.

For fast track ask for Military attaché attached to Chinese Embassy. Make sure you have at hand detailed stats of sledge sales over the last few years or something else of interest to the Greater Chinese Empire.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostAnyone know how long it takes or has anyone used one of the fast track websites?

It's fairly easy - get an L visa BEFORE you enter.
You need to give them a picture too - it takes 4 days to 14 days normally, and costs us $30 USD or (lol) Americans $130 - or you can express it for an additional $30 or an additional $150 dollars if you are american.
something like that anyway - Bing / Google "Tourist L Visa" China Embassy

Yes please. If I can get a flight then I'll need fast track now. I'd rep you, but it's worthless now.Originally posted by norrahe View PostUsed a fast track company for a trip there in 2008, done and dusted in 4 days.

We got ours issued in Hong Kong where you can enter with just a UK passport. I seem to remember the guest house we were staying in arranged it in a couple of days.
This could be an option if you can't sort something in the UK. Plus you get a trip to HK included in the bargain !Comment
