Stone Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I have a 2-year mutiple entry visa to China. But it expires this month. When I inquired at a travel agency, they told me the Chinese Consulate only grants 1 year multiple visa now. Even the Visa Application Form on the Consulate website no longer lists 2 year mutiple entry visa as an option. So I am wondering if anyone here has recently got a 2 year multiple entry visa and how? I read David got a 2 year visa, but how? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_dawei Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I literally just got one... from MyChinaVisa.com It's not listed on the consulate sheet but it is on their application sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy W Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I literally just got one... from MyChinaVisa.com It's not listed on the consulate sheet but it is on their application sheet. They are the same place - they are located about 5 minutes south of us. I went to their office last time we went to China. It takes a minute to find somebody when you walk in their office - they are obviously geared to mail order. I was happy - they saved me a couple of trips downtown at the odd hours that the consulate keeps Next time, I'll take my marriage license and see if I can't get one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikepellicore Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 We walked into the Chicago Consulate, and all I needed to show for the 2 year visa was the "RED BOOK", I asked for 90 day stays and they, complied with my request. They made a copy of the red book, for my file. She said I would not need it the next time I applied for the visa, but I will bring it with just in case. I think you just need to send your "RED BOOK" or other Marriage Certificate and a request for the 2 year visa, along with your passport, and they will give you 2 years. Be sure to ask for 90 day stays. Good Luck, Mike and Yizhen I got this visa in April "09". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wuhan4me Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 I got a new set of everything in February - new passport, new visa. When I went to the China Consulate in Houston - I took the new passport, the old passport copies (showing all the stamps) and the marriage (red book) and got a 2 year, 120 day duration visa. But that was in February.. No idea of 'current' stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilton747 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 What is the "red book"? It's a Chinese marriage certificate that you get when you are married in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hi, Has anyone tried in S.F. Chinese Consulate for 2 years visa? I am planning to get a visa so I could go back in Nov this year. Thanks. Ricky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Juan Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Chicago consulate only would give me one year 90 day one mostly I had one trip to China. Now after 3 trips I bet they would give me a 2 year, I won't renew this one though wife is moving here soon, and next time I visit I want a fresh one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff n Jianli Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) My daughter and I just got our passports back yesterday from Chicago with 2 year, 90 day visas. I had Jianli write a letter asking for it and why we needed it. We sent a cover letter and a listing of our supporting documents. Everything was hand written in Chinese.

I read David got a 2 year visa, but how? Thanks I applied a visa for my daughter through Pasiasia.com. It was a two year multiple entry. If I don't remember wrong, it only cost about 20 dollors more than the 1 year visa. The visa was granted end of May or beginning of June this year. The application form didn't have 2-year option. We just wrote it in. And it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
