Hi all,
I was issued with a 2 month tourist visa in Hong Kong last week, but unfortunately it's double entry visa, max stay is 30 days at a time. As such, I am looking for the easiest place for me to exit then re-enter China to get my 2nd entry and second '30 days'. (Aside: I had an invitation letter and lots of paperwork when applying for the visa, but it doesn't seem like HK is offering 2-3 month single visas at all atm).
I will be in Kunming at the end of this week (for the Kunming Hat, if anybody else knows about it!), and was wondering if there's any news on the Ruili crossing, and whether it's possible to get a one day visa for Myanmar (just to renew my visa and get another 30 days), like it is in Thailand?
The most recent information I can find on the crossing is from www.gokunming.com/en/forums/thread/8067/travelling_form_yunnan_to_myanmar, but this info seems to be for actually entering Myanmar, and not just a visa renewal.
Any tips or ideas on how easy it is to get an entry/exit stamp for Myanmar? Also - any recommendations on where I might get more information once in Kunming?
Otherwise, I think I may have to go to the Laos border. Is it possible to skip in and out without paying the $35 for a Lao visa?
Thanks in advance
