Re: Chinese Tourists Ask Embassy to Return Them to China
I recall reading somewhere something along the lines that Chinese (and Korean I think) tourists get like a 12 month multiple entry visa. Dunno if they are issuing new ones tho..
Re: Chinese Tourists Ask Embassy to Return Them to China
I taught the Brits with their virus spreading background were the only ones with a designated quarantine hotel.clutchcargo wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 12:39 pmAnd how come they can't afford their return tickets home?
And why doesn't the PRC have their own inward quarantine centres like every other country does?
Re: Chinese Tourists Ask Embassy to Return Them to China
Correct that there are no Tourist type Visas being issued, however Chinese nationals have no issues getting an E-type Visa without justification, there are agents who handle everything and applicants pay extra for the Visa applications to be approved. Many reports have been referring to foreign arrivals as Tourists...this could be because people are indicating on their arrival cards that the purpose of their Visit is "Tourism", or are entering on a T1/2/3ex EOS, therefore the Immigration officials are entering "Tourism" as the purpose of visit into the Immigration database.

AKP Phnom Penh, July 09, 2021 --
Cambodia registered a total of 91,596 foreigner arrivals in first five months of this year, down 92.2 percent compared to the previous year, according to the Ministry of Tourism.
Of the foreign visitors, Thai tourists topped the list with 46,395 arrivals, followed by the Chinese with 27,693.
Most of the international visitors were tourists, businesspersons, and investors.

Re: Chinese Tourists Ask Embassy to Return Them to China
Chinese, South Korean and Japanese passport holders are eligible for T1, T2, T3 Visas, these Visas only allow for a 1 month period of stay, in order for multiple entries under these Visas they also need to apply for an Extension of Stay, T1ex, T2ex, T3ex, however they are only permitted a 1 month period of stay per visit. As all Tourist type Visas have been suspended since march 2020, applicant s cannot apply for a T1/2/3, only those with existing T1/2/3ex EOS's can apply for further Extensions of Stay and come and go as they please...so technically, people holding T1/2/3ex EOS's are entering under the assumption of Tourism.clutchcargo wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 1:07 pm I recall reading somewhere something along the lines that Chinese (and Korean I think) tourists get like a 12 month multiple entry visa.

Yep, only UK passport holders are being sent to a specific hotel, everyone else is luck of the draw.
Re: Chinese Tourists Ask Embassy to Return Them to China
On June 26, the embassy issued an “urgent notice” requiring travellers to China from Cambodia to quarantine for 14 days, including the flight day, in airline-designated hotels.
They would have to undergo “dual detection” tests – nucleic acid and serum antibody – at the Royal Cambodian Army Hospital and the National Institute of Public Health at their own expense.
Both Chinese citizens and foreigners must then apply for an international health code from the embassy and submit necessary documents prior to departure. The notice takes effect on July 11.
The embassy, on its website, said the compulsory measures were implemented as the number of confirmed novel coronavirus cases “imported from Cambodia remained high” and “many travellers were infected on the way to China”.
It advised people to assess their need to travel, given that the global epidemic is serious and the risk of cross-infection is relatively high.
The Cambodian government in the past has allegedly dismissed the existence of exported cases involving Chinese nationals who tested positive upon return in Guangzhou city, which is one of the main entry points for flights from Cambodia.
A news report by Hong Kong-listed Tencent Holdings Ltd’s QQ web portal, quoting Guangzhou Municipal People’s Government, revealed a chart by Nandu Big Data Research Institute where imported asymptomatic Covid-19 cases from Cambodia was highest at 19.
The figure represented 32 per cent of the total imported cases between May 21 and June 20 this year in Guangzhou.

It's almost as if the Chinese don't trust their own vaccine that was donated to Cambodia for use.AndyKK wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 3:07 pm On June 26, the embassy issued an “urgent notice” requiring travellers to China from Cambodia to quarantine for 14 days, including the flight day, in airline-designated hotels.

During my time in line waiting for vaccination.....I overheard plenty of Chinese being spoken by many in line.
I'm sure a lot of the Chinese diaspora have been vaccinated whilst here.
Why the extreme measures........stinks of fear.
Re: Chinese Tourists Ask Embassy to Return Them to China
Everything to do with the Chinese coming and going in Cambodia stinks.
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

You are aware that COVID didn’t originate in the UK, right? It wasn’t some master plan by the UK to cripple the world.drozd wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 1:21 pmI taught the Brits with their virus spreading background were the only ones with a designated quarantine hotel.clutchcargo wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 12:39 pmAnd how come they can't afford their return tickets home?

Re: Chinese Tourists Ask Embassy to Return Them to China
Do they need a visa, or passport? I think I read on the site that Chinese pass over the closed borders without.clutchcargo wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 1:07 pmI recall reading somewhere something along the lines that Chinese (and Korean I think) tourists get like a 12 month multiple entry visa.

Re: Chinese Tourists Ask Embassy to Return Them to China
Somebody mentioned that businessmen from China, Korea and Japan can get extended EOS, applicable for 3 years multiple entry (I think, or something similar).AndyKK wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 6:21 pmDo they need a visa, or passport?
