Visas

We had been told that it might be hard to get a visa for more than 30 days in China. One of Andi's fellow Chinese language students had planned a longer trip but only been given a 30 day visa. She eventually got a longer one but only after some difficulty and extra fees.

Forearmed with this knowledge we applied with a detailed itinerary and accompanying letter explaining why we wanted a 60 day visa. With no consulate in Adelaide we couldn't speak to anyone personally and just had to post the application to Canberra.

Within the stated 10 days, back came our passports with 60 day visas inside. No problem at all.

Next job is to try and book some railway tickets online.
