Asked on February 10th, 2024Do they help get me a visa or do we need to do it on our own. Are we allowed to stay a couple extra days in China on our own and explore Beijing?
Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2024You will be provided with a Hotel List and Letter of Invitation to assist you in applying for your visa. These are the primary documents you should use to apply for your visa. We are able to arrange additional accommodation for you for an extra charge.

Traveler•Written February 2024I am still a little confused about the visa process. Do you get it for me on my behalf or do you send me the necessary documents and I get it myself. If I do get it myself, where do I apply for this visit?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2024
Many countries require a visa and obtaining the correct visa for your trip is your responsibility. You will be provided with a Hotel List and Letter of Invitation to assist you in applying for your visa. These documents are issued by our local office in China to help with your application.

Asked on February 28th, 2022I'm interested in traveling with my wife on your 12 day Explore China Tour. I noticed that China requires travelers to quarantine for 14 days in hotel and 7 days for health monitoring when arriving in Shanghai. Will we have to quarantine and have health monitoring when we arrive in Shanghai before starting the tour?
- P
Pam
Traveler•Written March 2022I would like to add a note to my previous enquiry. By arriving in China on 9/01/2022 will this give us the necessary time to start Tour ID 81976 on 9/18/2022? If not, which alternative tour do you recommend?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written March 2022
For the purposes of our trip, we just require proof of full vaccination. Any entry/exit visa, PCR or quarantine requirements we'd recommend to check with the relevant country's embassy/consulate and your Governments website as we are unable to advise. Also note as the trip isn't until September, quarantine requirements can change. In some instances where you have to quarantine first, people tend to arrive earlier than the trip to do the quarantine, so they are out of it once they begin the trip - something to consider?
- P
Pam
Traveler•Written March 2022It is difficult for us to make a decision to go on the tour based on you answer because my wife and I will not know until September what the quarantine time period, if any, to schedule our flight and book the tour. Would you please clarify some more?
