Visas for the Chinese
As I understand it (please someone correct me if I am wrong) the Chinese have to apply for two Visas - one for the UK or Eire and one for the countries in the Schengen agreement which allows uninterrupted passage across borders. Applying for different visas is stopping - according to some reports - a large number of Chinese visiting the UK citing cost and paperwork. Over to you Foreign Office and UK Border Agency.
