Are six and twelve month multiple entry Chinese tourist visas currently being issued in Australia?
In the past couple of years I've tried to obtain multiple entry visas for China while on the road in Laos and Vietnam.
I discovered that although they documented multiple entry visas on their web pages and had boxes to tick for them on the application, I was informed that I could only get single or double entry visas, depending on which consulate or country.
Despite asking why, I could not get a direct answer on whether this was because I was from a third country or whether I would be able to get a more flexible visa in my home country. I assumed this vagueness is intentional.
So I'm attempting to confirm that China is issuing these longer visas to Australian citizens who apply at Chinese consulates in Australia.
Note that I'm not asking about double-entry visas, just multiple-entry visas.
