Mainland China

All team members are required to have a visa for entering Mainland China.

We recommend that the team acquire visas before departing for Hong Kong, especially if you have chosen to focus your trip on Mainland China (option 1). It takes 3 business days to get a China visa in Hong Kong and, since you will only be visiting us for about 10 days, waiting for a visa will waste almost a third of your time.

For more information about China visas and how to contact the Chinese Embassy in your country, please visit the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China at the following address:

PROC Ministry of Foreign Affairs

For your convenience, we provide the China Embassy contact information for the following countries (please note that this information is subject to change beyond our control. We suggest that you visit the website above if you have problems making contact using it)
