China's Visa Situation. Now Clear As Mud.

By Dan Harris and Steve Dickinson

The Yuan Also Rises blog has a nice post up on China's current visa situation (at least as of this week). The post is entitled "Clear as Mud," and, among other things, it notes of reports that China visas may be easier to obtain in Japan, Korea, Vietnam and Thailand than in England and Hong Kong. I used to almost always get my visa in Seoul by going to the Chinese Embassy there in the morning, producing an airplane ticket showing my flight leaving that afternoon, and pleading rather nicely for a visa before my plane would take off. I think the longest I have ever had to wait was one hour. Maybe I will have to go back to that when my multiple entry visa expires in September or maybe the tightened requirements for visas will have ended by then.
