About visa renewal

You should go to Beijing to operate and pay the fee by yourself. The whole process

is your own business, in other words, it is not range of our service.

Therefore, we highly suggest you plan and manage your time previously.

Passport and Other Documents

Make sure you make a photocopy of your passport, visa, ticket, credit cards, debit

cards, travel insurance and other important documents you plan to bring with you.

Leave one copy with someone at home, and another copy with your LC. Take a

third copy with you and store it separately and in a safe place. In case of loss it is

much easier to get a duplicate when you have a copy of the original. The same

goes for traveler and telephone numbers in case you lose your credit card. While

in China, you will be required to carry your passport around frequently because

other forms of ID are not usually recognized.

Insurance and Medical Care:

It is strongly recommended that you ensure you are adequately insured and bring

all related insurance papers with you.

Make copies of this also! Leave a copy of the number to call for claims and your

policy number in your wallet and label it as insurance in case you are brought into

the hospital unconscious.

Consult your doctor or travel doctor early on to plan ahead for getting your

vaccinations. Some of them require more than one injection, while others should

not be given at the same time.

It is recommended that you seek medical advice at least six weeks before your

departure. Record all vaccinations on an International Health Certificate, available

from your doctor or government health department and carry it with you (again

make a copy)
