Tourist Visa for girlfriend
Posted: Wed Nov 06, 2019 10:53 am
This is similar to the thread about a visa for a girlfriend for the UK but there are a couple of differences, mainly that I am not resident in Cambodia (at least not yet!) - I am based in Aus.
Please let me know if this is appropriate to post here, it being an ex-pats forum...
Anyway, I hooked up with a lovely girl on a recent trip and we are keen to meet up again soon. I already had a 2 week trip booked to China and naively assumed it would be as simple for her as it was for me to get a tourist visa. She was advised by a travel agent that she would need to show $20,000 in a bank account, which is out of the question.
I can't see any mention of this kind of "rule" on the China embassy/consulate sites, just a form to fill in. But it seems from reading the other thread, this might actually be true?
Anyone had experience or has any general advice on applying for such a visa? I'd also like one at some point for her to visit me in Aus but the same travel agent trotted out a similar list of requirements? Is this the norm for most visa for single Cambodian girls travelling overseas?
