New Topic Newest First

If any one here clearly understands the new visa regs between the USA and China I would welcome a chat. the new agreement is being heralded in the USA as something great for citizens of both countries. I rec'd somewhat of an explanation about the new policy from a Chinese visa service. but after that explanaton do not see the benefit to US tourists visitng China.

My understanding so far is a tourst may be issued a ten yr visa, meaning for 10 years neednt reapply. however this L Visa oly allows one to stay in the country for 60 days at whcih time you must leave and re-enter.

Isnt his what L Visa holders have been doing all along? how has this new law changed anything for the L Visa holder?

Call or go online to ABriggs.com, they're the visa agency the government uses and they can answer your questions accurately and get visas quickly. The 60 day thing, as far as I know, is required when you don't provide a complete ininerary for your visit, but call A Briggs, they have offices in DC, Houston, Charlotte, LA, and others. Their website can give you the embassy your visa will be processed at.
