All Filipinos traveling to China for the
Beijing Olympics in august and September 2008 are advised to apply for and
acquire appropriate entry visas from the Chinese Embassy in Manila.
According to a circular note from the
Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs dated 24 April 2008, the Chinese
government has issued laws and regulations requiring visa applicants to
present necessary documents such as invitation letter, family relationship
certificate, hotel reservation in China and roundtrip air tickets, etc.
While it had made some adjustment in light of preparations for the Olympic
Games, the Chinese government declared that normal travel to China has not
been affected. In this regard, it had advised foreigners to apply for
and acquire Chinese visas before leaving for China from their countries of
origin or long-term residence.
Filipinos intending to travel to China
are therefore advised to observe this advisory to avoid unnecessary delay
and expense. END |
