All international
travellers require visas although Brunei, Japan, and Singapore passport holders
are able to enjoy access without visa to China for up to 15 days.
Standard 30-day,
single-entry visas can be issued in three to five working days from a majority of
Chinese embassies, and must be used within three months of the date of issue.
Longer visas are often more difficult to obtain.
For further details,
consult with your travel agent, China International Travel Service, China
Travel Service, or any Chinese embassy or consulate.
