				Ok so its time for the dreaded visa question again, although this one has a slight twist.
 
Teacher is here nice and legal on a z visa, resident and work permit. 
 
 
How about his visiting wife who wants to live with him also? What is the best visa for her to get. Preferably 6 month multiple entry. Obtained in Hong Kong.   'L'  'F'  or something else completely.
 
 
Any hints would be appreciated. |

				Noodles,
 
if your wife does not want to work, she can get a business visa, multiple-entry, for up to six months, from PHOENIX in Hong Kong, or a tourist visa, same as above, from JAPAN Travel Ltd., or from CHINA TRAVEL SERVICE (on the corner of Peking Rd., Nathan Rd., second floor). 
 
A tourist visa for six months, multiple-entry, should cost around 400 to 500 HK $. 
 
I do not know if your wife can get a six month, multiple-entry tourist visa from the China visa section in wanchai (they should be the cheapest); to my knowledge, they only have 3-month visas, or visas for even shorter periods. |
