I am just filling out the same form and have an appointment to lodge them tomorrow. I noticed on the form that there is now an option to tick a two year multiple entry option. No mention of this on the website but I am going to ask if I can apply for one tomorrow. I read it and the letter of invitation is only needed if visiting non rellos. As i believe you have rellos there all you need is to fill the box in with their details.

philbravery. I just got back from my visa application. The guy in the visa centre in Sydney said no problems for a 12 month multi entry with a 90 day limit each stay. I asked him about the 2 year multi and he said that as this is now my second 12 month multi entry and because my Mrs  is Chinese I should be able to get a two year multi entry 90 days each next time I apply. They are the same price as a 12 month one so there is a cost and hassle saving if you can get one. As happy said in another thread it is all about working your way up the visa ladder. 

No letter of invitation needed. Just name and address of rello or inviting Chinese national.

Thanks for that

when I go in on Friday iIl will ask some Questions about it

the last couple of times I had Business visa so I could claim it on tax 5 weeks 3 days to go but who's counting

Not me but just for the record I fly out in 12 days 4 hours and 10 minutes. Pity we are still a fair away apart in Nth China as it would be good to catch up for a Snow or Harbin or two. 

Good luck with the visa.

Take your marriage license and a copy of your wifes household reg. and everything else will fly with ease

How did you go with your visa Phil. I just picked up a 1 year multi 90 days each visit today. $218.   

Got my L visa single entry $94

We will find out more when the boy goes for his visa in a couple of months with his mother in tow.

there is a sign that tell you about the letter and passport copy but maybe its just an over zealous security guard

have a safe trip

4 weeks 6 days to go hahahaha

best regards
