The European Chamber of Commerce in China has expressed its concern about the sudden and unannounced change last week in China's visa policies, making entering the country much tougher for business people.
n the last few days, the European Chamber has received complaints from many of its members regarding these matters and has expressed its concerns to China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
They miss the point though when they complain about the lack of transparency of the visa regulations:
Currently, the European Chamber is not aware of any official statement from the Government of the People’s Republic of China concerning a formal change in visa rules. The European Chamber hopes that normal visa services will be restored very shortly, and is seeking clarification from the Chinese authorities.
The rules for
visas have never been very clear and most countries do have rather murky strategies for the way they let foreigners enter their country. That was no problem when the multiple entry F-visa could be obtained for a year, then nobody was complaining about transparency. I'm quite sure nothing will change, at least until the Olympic Games are over.
