Q: Hardest countries for Chinese to get visas to?

My Chinese friends and people w/ Chinese partners on this site often talk about problems Chinese nationals have with getting visas to other countries. I've heard that parts of SE Asia are fairly easy to get visas, but not Japan or South Korea. And that the UK and the US can be nightmares. Is there a comprehensive list somewhere that ranks countries in terms of how difficult it is for Chinese to get visas there? I would be interested in seeing it and knowing the reasons why.

Here is a link! You should find it somewhat useful and it has a lot of insight. I would have to agree that the US is one of them. Hong Kong and Thailand are probably two of the easiest places. And NK probably stands up there as one of the most difficult in my mind. Nobody wants to go there or any of those war stricken countries like Iraq, Iran.

Basically any large developed country restricts immigration and tourist visa because the people will try and stay permanently. With a US, Canadian,UK, Auzy etc passport you can go to many places without a visa or easily get one, because those countries want the tourist dollars and they are sure that person will probably return home and not end up on the welfare system,,,like many do in Canada.

 Canada also has too much reverse discrimination policies, try getting a government or airport job if you are a native born caucasian male. When I phone a government office in Toronto, I can't understand what the people are saying. I wonder if they farmed out those jobs just so the people will sound like the people that handle phone calls for Bell etc.( i another country) ''On yess, a verrry good day to you sir, I am verrry pleased to be helping you, my name is Abu.''

Taiwan doesn't issue visas at all to mainland Chinese. In fact, Taiwan doesn't even recognise mainland passports.

bighair:

That's not true, there're many people in mainland visit taiwan each year.

Traveler:

They have travel documents, not visas.

 

Taiwan doesn't recognise China as a separate country, so therefore doesn't recognise it's passports, and doesn't issue visas to mainland Chinese.

It seems, for Chinese, there are only ten or so countries for vise-free like Pakistan.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
