Q: Anyone think visa restrictions for Chinese people will relax anytime soon?
I understand that there are a handful of South East Asian countries ie Thailand and Malaysia where its either a simple case of getting a visa on the day at the embassy or when they land. But having recently had a friend with a Chinese g/f who had to go through a whole series of document finding and so on just to have his partner visit the country, I wondered if Western developed countries would start to relax these rules in the future. Of course the amount of Chinese people travelling to Europe/America is ever increasing and it can be only good for our currently needy economies. Do you think these currently will be more "inviting" with their visa procedures in order to encourage more people from China to visit?
No, unless you are really well off, good luck getting a visa. Chinese need to show BEYOND any doubt that they will return to China. Immigration just takes it that everyone will over stay or never go home.
Students come to NA and many just disappear, same with guys bringing wives home, often the wife never makes it to his home, escaping sometimes by crawling out washroom windows. I think I had refugees hiding in my garden shed.
No, for the same reason Ted mentioned. Additionally, Chinese tourists are not known as the most desirable in the world, and China does not have reciprocal agreements with most developed countries.
In fact, China seems to be the one trying to attract visitors to help it's slowing economy, by issuing limited-time on-arrival visas for all European countries - except badly-behaved Finland, of course. They gave a naughty Chinese man a Nobel Peace Prize.
Traveler,
Classic comments! Good on ya!!!!!!! lol lol 
Yeah, way to go China
regarding Finland! Another classic Chinese F***-*P!!! Ha ha ha!!!!
"Additionally,..........the world,............" * The ***** South Koreans are
the same!
"Does anyone think...............soon?" No, why should they?
The visa regulations for Chinese nationals are there because so many Chinese nationals go to a country and don't come back!
I was doing some research for a VIP lesson for a young lady who was going for a visa interview to study at an American high school, apparently as many as 80% of Chinese people who travel to the USA on a student visa don't return to China on time! So long as those kind of figures are maintained I don't see any nation allowing freer access to their nation.
TedDBayer:
They're changing Canadian immigration, so its easier for students to become residents. One of my friends worked at a local college, he said they love foreign students, many never show up for their first day. So there becomes another opening for another student to pay tuition and maybe skip.
