China crew visa ???

[NuName]

Anyone out there have any experience for a visa for crew going to Beijing on a private jet? Do you have to get it before, can you get it on arrival or do you even need one?????

You need a visa! If you go down there without one you will find youself in a cellar waiting for a deporty flight to Hong Kong.:sad:

Just apply at the embassy - it takes appr. 2 to 4 days and it is good for 1 year.

Good luck

As posted above me, yes you do. Usually the crew visa is only good for fairly short period of time, however, you can extend the time period allowed on your initial request. I have had no problem getting all the time I ever needed nor have I heard of anyone being refused a longer stay.
