sagot kay Marisol na pupuntang Beijing to get her Mongolian work permit

Tanong ni Marisol na pupuntang Mongolia via Beijing. Sabi nya mag ti train sya papuntang Beijing (mula saan?).

"hello po, tanong ko lng po....pag po ba pupunta ako sa Beijing to get my work visa to work in Mongolia, kailangan ko pa po bang visa papunta Beijing?? pano po ako mka-enter sa Beijing"

Kelangan ng Pilipino may Chinese entry visa kung pumasok sa any Chinese territory, maliban pagpunta sa Hongkong at Macao. Ang mga Pinoy ay maaring pumasok sa HK (14 days stay) at Macao (30 days) bilang turista na walang visa.

Filipinos going to China must apply and obtain their chinese visas with the Chinese Embassy in Manila or sa Chinese Consultate in Cebu.

Hindi na nag iisue ng Chinese visa sa HK at Macao para sa mga Pinoy gaya ng dati. Ang exception sa Macao ay kung ikaw ay kabilang sa tourist group of at least 5 persons.

Marisol, i hope that you have read previous posts about working in Mongolia.

HONG KONG (AFP) - China has imposed further curbs on visitors, just weeks after it stopped issuing multiple-entry visas, Hong Kong travel agents said Friday, sparking concern among the business community.

"You now need a copy of your travel ticket both in and out of the country and a hotel voucher before they accept a visa application. Without that they will reject it," said Daryl Bending, a travel consultant with Concorde Travel.

Another agent said visitors from 33 countries -- including India, the Philippines and Indonesia -- were no longer allowed to apply for China visas in Hong Kong and would have to apply at their local Chinese embassies.

A statement on the website of the Chinese Foreign Ministry in Hong Kong said that there had been a "recent drastic rise" in the number of applicants.
"To spare applicants of the unnecessary trouble, for non-resident of Hong Kong, please apply for the Chinese visa at the Chinese embassy or consulate-general in his or her home country or resident country," it said.

A Hong Kong government spokeswoman said: "The Hong Kong government has reflected the views/concerns of the Hong Kong business community to the relevant mainland authorities."

Travel agents in several Asian countries previously said China had stopped issuing multiple-entry visas several weeks ago and that they had been told the service would not be resumed until after the Beijing Olympics, which take place in August.
Hong Kong residents will still be able to get a short-term visa from travel agents to the border city of Shenzhen without hotel and travel tickets, Concorde Travel's Bending said. (source : http://community.travelchinaguide.com/forum2.asp?i=45112)

But a visa granted at the border, popular among those taking day trips to Shenzhen for shopping or business, was no longer available, he added.

Filipino entrepreneur Jonathan Aquino, who runs a travel agency on top of several other businesses in Macau, said Filipino tourists may still stay for up to a month in the enclave on their first arrival. However, their limit of stay is often cut to just 10 days on their second entry.

But as in Hong Kong, crossing into the Chinese border city of Zhuhai from Macau has also become more difficult for Filipino tourists.

Aquino said the three to six-month visas used to be given to Filipino tourists are no longer available. Now, they can only apply for a group visa of up to six days’ stay in Zhuhai, and must leave and return to Macau at the same time.

To be considered as a group, there should now be a minimum of five, instead of the previous three people required before the new rules were tightened.
