[8023-10GEPON] June 2009 interim meeting for P802.3av TF - additional information about visa to P. R. of China



Dear all,

 

I have been informed that as of the 4th of May, some of the local China consulates received orders from the Chinese Government that there is a minimum 6 day processing time for China visas. They are also requesting all travelers complete the Declaration Form similar to the one posted on http://www.chinaconsulatesf.org/eng/qianzhen/t560317.htm. The Declaration Form requires each traveler to list the states and/ or countries that you have traveled to in the past two weeks. Be advised that that may result in a delay in obtaining the visa for June 2009 Interim meeting for P802.3av participants. As for now, it seems that the said extended delay is not universal (e.g. the local embassy in Lisbon, Portugal does not apply it).

 

Please be sure to check the duration of the proceeding delay with Your local embassy of P. R. of China to make sure that You obtain Your visa in time for the meeting.

 

As a side note – people holding a valid entry visa to P. R. of China do not need to apply for visa again.

 

Kindest regards
