chinese letter of invitation
 

HI all, ive just biked down from ireland to n greece, got great help in thessaloniki garaging my bike for 3 months, in istanbul now an the chinese embassy want an original letter of invitation posted to here before i can get a visa, does anyone know how i can quickly do this, ive allready written to the 3 communities in china, thanks rossa

G'Day,

a letter of invitation does not help with any bike travels in PRC. apply for a tourist visa and you will not need a letter of inviation. usually only business visa's with multiple entry will require a letter of invitation.

in case you planning on flying to China, go via Hong-Kong, any travel agent or hotel concierge can get you a tourist visa within 24hrs. or less.

Good Luck! Best Regards, Seeya in the pub or on the road....

Unless you are applying for a work visa, you dont need a letter of invitation.

Try another embassy, or go to Hong Kong. You can get a tourist visa in Hong Kong in about an hour! No hassles.
