FIELD TRIP TO CHINA

Foreign Participants

For entry into, exit from or transit through the Chinese territory, a Chinese visa is required for foreigners. So participants coming from countries outside Hong Kong must apply for a Chinese tourist visa on their own in order to join the China Field Trip on 8 July 2004.

The overseas Chinese visa authorities are Chinese embassies, consulates, visa offices, the consular department of the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in HKSAR, and other agencies abroad authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China. For further information, please consult the nearest Chinese visa authorities.
