RE: Tourist or business visa from US?

2010-08-24 11:08:37
I've been to China at least 10 times (5 in my current passport; can't find
the old ones just now).  At no time did any Immigration personnel speak to,
let alone interrogate, me; they just checked the visa, stamped my passport &
let me through.

 

Hope this helps.

My question then is whether you tell them at border control that you are
attending a meeting or whether you are there on vacation.  I am
unfortunately not a good liar ;)

In the many times I have visited China, I have gotten a business visa once,
and it was seriously not worth the effort.

I plan to get a tourist visa.

Is there a consensus that a tourist visa is sufficient to attend the
IETF from the US?

Thanks,
