Hi there, just need some advice on filling in the China Visa as there are a few areas that I'm struggling on:

(1.14) Your current occupation - is it okay to have 'other' with graduate, part time worker?

(2.2) Intended number of entries - would mine be single entry valid for 3 months because on the 'Sichuan Explorer' tour we organise a group visa for Tibet?
ALSO is it correct to say that I don't need a visa for Hong Kong because I hold a British passport?

(2.3) First possible entry into China - would this be the date the tour gets a train from Hong Kong to Shenzhen (then a sleeper train to Guilin)?

(2.5) List countries/cities and provinces to visit in China in order - can I write ALL the stops on my tour from Guilin to Beijing?

(2.6) Do you request same day service by paying extra - I'm going to sort my visa out though Travcour Ltd. so do I just leave this bit blank?

Thank you for your help,
SO sorry it's so long!
Mary

Sichuan Explorer - Chinese visa

Hello Mary,

Thank you for booking to travel with us on the Sichuan Explorer and for posting on the forums. I'll go through your questions one at a time:

(1.14) Your current occupation - is it okay to have 'other' with graduate, part time worker?

This should be fine - we just recommend avoiding anything such as "journalist".

(2.2) Intended number of entries - would mine be single entry valid for 3 months because on the 'Sichuan Explorer' tour we organise a group visa for Tibet?
ALSO is it correct to say that I don't need a visa for Hong Kong because I hold a British passport?

You just need a single entry Chinese visa for this tour, and can get the Hong Kong entry on arrival.

(2.3) First possible entry into China - would this be the date the tour gets a train from Hong Kong to Shenzhen (then a sleeper train to Guilin)?

Yes - this will be day 2 of the tour.

(2.5) List countries/cities and provinces to visit in China in order - can I write ALL the stops on my tour from Guilin to Beijing?

Yes this is fine.

(2.6) Do you request same day service by paying extra - I'm going to sort my visa out though Travcour Ltd. so do I just leave this bit blank?

I suggest you contact Travcour about this and check how you request the same day service.

I hope this helps,

Best wishes
Kelly

Hi Naomi,

You can use these details for the inviter:

The Imaginative Traveller
2-1801, Building A
Puli Wendong Garden
No. 24 Wenhuadong Road
Jinan
250014
Tel: +86 531 8855 8979
Fax: +86 531 8858 0072

We don't normally get asked for an email address so I think it is unlikely they will need this, but you can use imtravchinaops@gmail.com.

I hope this helps,

Regards
Kelly
