The German speaking “China Observer” reported that from now on it will be possible to get “on-arrival” tourist visas in Guilin Liangjiang International Airport.
This is, if true, good news for last minute tourists who don’t have time to shuffle to the Chinese embassy in their home country to apply for a visa. The maximum duration is limited to 30 days. It is not known if these on-arrival visas can be extended by another 30 days like “normal” Chinese tourist visas.
To get the visa you need to take a visa application form, a passport photo with white background and a copy of you passport (+ the passport of course) with you.
The “Port Visa Office” at the Airport is open the whole day:
Tel: +86 0773 2845053
Fax: +86 0773 2845053
The visa fees are CNY 130 for group tours and CNY 160 for single travelers.
