Hi. My travel agent keeps telling me I can only get a single-entry visa for China, unless I go through a great many steps, including waiting in line at the Chinese Embassy. My question is, why can a travel agent get a single -- but not a double entry visa.

Thanks!

China rarely issue multiple reentry visas unless you have a very specific reason for going and can show evidence along with it.

My husband has a multiple one but he runs a business that requires him to go to China regularly - the first few times he went to China, he was only allowed to get a single visa... then he was sponsored by a Chinese business associate and was allowed to get a multiple visa.

The travel agent is correct in this case.

I just got my Chinese visa in Bangkok. If you are American, you have to pay $100 for single entry, double entry or multiple entry. So I checked multiple entry, since I have to pay for it anyway. The lady said, can't have multiple entry except for business. So I said fine, double entry; she said fine.
So if you are America, you have to pay the $100 no matter what and they should give you double entry. This was in Bangkok, Korea may be similar.

anyone if the business rule applies to the two year multiple entry visa for chinese americans. i'm planning a trip to china and thought that since the price is the same i would try to get that visa. just wondering if those are for chinese americans who do business in china or if i can get just for visiting.
