Chinese Visa
Every people of non-Chinese nationality need a Chinese Visa to enter China. The travelers are responsible for all visas, entry documents, health and any requirements required by laws, regulations, orders of countries visited.
For the China tours sold on this website, the required visa is an L visa (Travel Visa), for which you must provide evidence of a return or onward ticket. Its validity is 3 month from the date of issue. Make sure to have it before arriving in China, since it is very difficult to obtain a visa at Chinese border entry points. If you plan to spend few days in Hong Kong or Macao between 2 stays in China, you will need to be on a multiple-entry visa or apply for another visa to enter China again.
Important: Please take account of the following restrictions, valid until octobre 2008:
Since the 14/04/2008, photocopies of the flight ticket and hotel reservations or an accommodation certificate are mandatory for the Business and Tourist Visa.
Starting on March 27, 2008– until further notice- the consulate of China is applying the following instructions:
- The multiple entrance visa has been suspended ( one and two entries are still accepted
- The validity of the visas are restricted to 30 days (you must enter within the 30 days following the issue of the visa)
- The length of the stays is limited to 30 days.

You should obtain prior permission from the Chinese authorities to travel to Tibet, which we can take care of. You'll just have to send us a photocopy of your passport. But the Visa for entering China is on your responsibility. Visa conditions change regularly. Contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate of China for the most up to date information.
