Forums > Travel Yunnan > Yes, another VISARUN question

Thanks guys! This was really helpful :) In the meantime I though of a different option (no clue why I didn't think of that first although I'm no sure if it is better).

Right now I'm leaning towards getting a L visa in my own country and start with the research. For the business visa I will have all the right paperwork anyway. They can still refuse to grand my a businessvisa but I'm hoping the chance is smaller than refusing a L-visa. For the businessvisa I guess I'll be going to Chiang Mai.

Also, I contact the FCCC, thanks for all the intell and suggestions!

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Yes, another VISARUN question

Hi guys!

I know I'm certainly not the first one asking for the most recent visa information but I still hope you are willing to advice me.

I'm planning to do my thesisreseach in China, which would take two months. No problem so far but I was just asked by a foreign correspondent of a big media agency to do an internship there. That would take 3 months. The thing is, with all the changes for journalists since a certain person took power in 2012, the media agency doesn't want me to do my research and my internship on the same visa. This means I will need two visas, but I'm not sure which ones to get and where and so on...

Option A:
Getting a businessvisa back in my home country with help from the media company for 3 months and after finishing my internship doing a visarun to get a tourist visa for 60 or 90 days.

Option B:
Getting a 90 day tourist visa in my home country and after that doing a visarun to get a visa a tourist visa for 60 or 90 days months.

Which would be the most option do you think. And where should I go to get my second visa? Hongkong of Laos (Vientiane?)?. Do those places even hand out 90-days visas anymore?

I really hope you advice me on this one :)

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Is it possible to change bus tickets?

Hey guys!

It might be a stupid question but is it possible to change bus tickets? (like train tickets). Bought a ticket to Mohan to enter Laos but kind of changed my mind and now I prefer going to Mengla instead to take the bus to Luang Nam Tha from there.

Thanks!
