I know you cannot NOW get Multiple Entry China Visas (MECV) if you do not have HKID. I have had 7 China visas over the past 3 years, singles, doubles, 1 -6mth and 1 -12 mth so I have a good understanding of the local HK & China situation.
Am returning to Australia and want to apply for multiple L or F type. In the documentation provided by China Visa Australia it states
"For those applying for multi-entry "L" or "F" visa are required to obtain an official invitation issued by an authorized department in China"
Questions:
1. Has anyone applied and got a MECV in Sydney and if so what docos provided?
2. What is an 'authorized department in China'?
Any experiences either via PM or posted here would be greatly appreciated.
