Will my application be accepted if I indicate that I will be entering China possibly a year from now, with no current China flights or hotels booked.
What is the best way to go about this? Is it possible for a UK citizen to apply for a China tourist visa whilst in Japan? would it make it easier to travel to Hong Kong at the end of the Japan stay and apply there instead?
