I went yesterday to the local entry/exit part of the PSB. But they were closed. And will be for several days. Due to the mid-autumn festival holiday on Sunday.

Maybe next time I should ask about getting a job there, as it seems they have lots of holidays. Plus there might be the opportunity to do some moonlighting on the side, eh?

Anyway, breaking news (or at least rumour) is that after the October holiday, things will get back to normal on the China visa front. And as this year they are having a shorter holiday, could this mean earlier than 17 October? Who knows?

China to Issue One Year Multi-Entry Business Visas "After the October National Holiday"

Sept. 12 - Sources close to China's Public Security Bureau have told Dezan Shira & Associates that China will relax its current strict visa issuance policies for business visas following the national holiday in October.

Beginning in the second week of October, China will start issuing one year multi-entry F visas, making it far more convenient for those traveling to China on business to enter the country. The new measures will assist with the various trade shows, such as the Canton Trade Fair, that China traditionally holds during the Autumn.

This new policy will redress the restrictions on visa issuance that were put in place prior to the Olympics, and will come as welcome news to China-bound business people visiting the country.
