LUKE_M Points: Join Date: Mar 5, 2010 Status: offline	Hello, I am a British National currently in India and just trying to get to grips with the Chinese Visa situation. I will be applying for my Chinese Visa in Bangkok around the 24th March. I want to enter China sometime in April 2010. My travel plans involve a trip to Hong Kong, via the train from Hanoi in Vietnam. After which I was hoping to move inland to Yangshuo for at least a month, before heading south to Yunnan and up into the area east of Tibet. Clearly my itinerary is far longer than the 30-days provided on the normal visa. Is there anyway to get a longer visa. I'd be looking for around 3-months. I hope somebody can help, Best wishes, Luke

It would make sense, I could travel from Hong Kong to Yangshuo and then south, leaving China over the border to Vietnam for a few weeks and then return to Yunnan. I would have to have an outbound flight booked though correct? Thanks this is very helpful.
