Question

Do anyone know why the Consulate of China is only giving 1 Entry visas??

Answer 1

Historically, China has tightly controlled access to its country.  However, with the Olympics, and the concomitant financial and political gains, they have opened the door much wider for foreign visitors, on a one-time basis, approving many more visas than before.  Once the Olympics are over, they will revert back to issuing fewer, but multiple entry visas.

Answer 2

Bacause of the Olympics, supposely will change in August. At least that's what I was told.

Answer 3

I would give you my boiler-plate answer: "Visa issuance, including cost, is reciprocal."  But this is a bit different.  For the USA, it costs money to interview applicants, one interview per entry. It's much cheaper to issue multi-entry visas for ten years. But I reckon China doesn't care about their costs. And interviewing someone today for entry in a month is one thing.  They will have a *lot* more control if they have to re-interview the same applicant in a few months for another entry.  It's butt-headed, but that's how the Soviets were, too. Just be patient- this wall will fall, too, one day.

Answer 4

because thats there government and we cant do anything about it
