elkay68 Posted July 20, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2015 We are sailing on the 9/11/15 transpacific then ends in Shanghai. I have yet to get my return flight back to the US. Has anyone applied for a Chinese Visa without having their return tickets yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project_gal Posted July 20, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2015 You need to let people know where you reside and your nationality before anyone can answer this question. Rules and procedures differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

workstocruise Posted July 20, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 20, 2015 We are on a river cruise next March from Beijing to Shanghai and will need Visas. However we can't apply for them before 90 days because they are only good for so long and we will be in China for 2 weeks. You can't apply for them till you know your flight numbers and dates.

Nachosdelux Posted July 20, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) you can "hold" a reservation and use that itinerary. I HIGHLY recommend: http://www.alliedpassport.com only $45 service fee per visa. outstanding service. Edited July 20, 2015 by Nachosdelux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone applied for a Chinese Visa without having their return tickets yet? They require proof of exit travel reservation. You can apply prior to 90 days out. They stamp your visa on entry and you can get approval for various lengths of time. We used an agency Genvisa and had good results. You must be VERY careful to include EVERYTHING they request or you get it back. There is a lot of info required. You can call the Chinese embassy and talk with them or call visa company and they are very helpful. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
