FAQ (5) - About a Visa and Accommodation - Prostate Treatment
How do I get a China Visa, how do I book round-trip tickets to China?
We suggest that you find a local travel agent to help you to get a visa and the round-trip tickets. You should apply for a tourist visa. Normally it should be quite easy to get a 30 day visa. If it is 40 days of treatment, you had better apply for a 60 day visa. If it is difficult to get and they reject your tourist visa application, our clinic can provide you an invitation letter for medical treatment.
