| Jan 28, 2018 at 14:37 | comment | added | Blaszard | @Airsick It is often considered that you must have a valid residence permit in the third country to apply for a visa, which I don’t. It is also reported that the rule varies greatly on each country. HK is considered more lax but I have no plan to visit it, and anyway it sounds risky - travelchinaguide.com/embassy/visa/application.htm It is fine to edit the question. I’m from Japan. | |

None of those seven qualify for 15-day visa free entry. Can I suggest you edit your question to clarify your reasons, and include your own nationality. | |
| Jan 28, 2018 at 13:54 | comment | added | Blaszard | @Airsick I keep traveling all year round without ever going back to my home country, so the only possible solution to get a Chinese visa is apply for it while in China. That is my question. | |
| Jan 28, 2018 at 13:48 | comment | added | Blaszard | @Airsick Because generally it is not possible to apply from a country except your own. But I don’t live in my home country and won’t go back, so it is not possible to get the visa. The Schengen is just my current plan and it is fine to replace it with any countries. | |
| Jan 28, 2018 at 13:42 | comment | added | user67901 | Then why not apply for the visa you need before you travel and avoid the need to fly all the way to the Schengen area and back in the middle of your trip? I can't help but think that there's something you're not saying here. If this idea makes me suspicious I'd guess that the Chinese will be too. | |
| Jan 28, 2018 at 13:33 | comment | added | Blaszard | @Airsick Because of the length of stay. Visa-free entry allows me to stay for only up to 15 days. | |
| Jan 28, 2018 at 13:31 | comment | added | user67901 | If you can enter China visa free anyway, why apply for a visa at all? You seem to be trying to game the system somehow, which I'd suggest is an inherently risky idea. | |
