Many shop owners take "golden week holidays" as a good chance to make money. The shops will be definitely open during that time.

RAZZAQ, There are one Pakistani embassy and four consulates in China:
Embassy of Pakistan, Beijing
Consulate General of Pakistan, Shanghai
Consulate General of Pakistan, Hong Kong
Consulate General of Pakistan, Chengdu
Consulate General of Pakistan, Guangzhou

Your wife, her monther and sister should apply for Pakistani visa accoding to consular districts, if they live in Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian or Hainan, they can apply Pakistani visa in Guangzhou.

They need to submit the below documents:
- Completely filled in Visa Application Form.
- Copies of Passport and Identity Card.
- Two recent photographs (1”x1”)
- Invitation letter from you
- Copy of your Passport
- Copy of marriage certificate/ family registration document.

Hello,

I am an Irish citizen currently teaching in Quanzhou. I have a 'Z' visa and a residence permit. During the summer I plan to travel to Vietnam. However, next to the section marked 'Entries' on my 'Z' visa, there is a 1. As I obtained the visa in Hong Kong, does this mean that I am unable to leave the mainland, as I have already used up my one entry? Will this void my current 'Z' visa? I could really do with help on this.

Thanks,
Eric

Dear Miles

Thank you very much for your helpful response.

I understand now that wife should apply visa from Guangzhou, but may i know what kind of invitation letter i should prepare for her to visit Pakistan along with me (I am from Pakistan)

2nd: I was seeking information for what are the requirements to Invite my mom + sister to visit us in China (my mom + sister are Pakistanis)

I know they can not apply for L Visa individually, but they can apply for a "Group" visa but i don't know what sort of document they may require from my side.

3rd: If my wife applies visa from Guangzhou so how long she can get with how many entries?

4th: What does mean by "family registration" document" ?

5th: Our marriage license is not attested by Notary, so is that good to get it attested or no need for this to be attested by Notary?

Thanks a lot in advance.
