I'm in the process of getting an M-Visa (I have an invitation). But I want to apply in SE Asia, or possibly Hong Kong, rather than fly all the way back to my home country, (and incur long haul flights and expense) - just for a visa application.
Right now, I'm in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I went to the consulate this afternoon - and they said that the best I could expect would be 60 days, two entries. But there was no guarantee that it would be granted.
What is the best I might expect in other SE Asian, or neighbouring countries? Kuala Lumpur?, Hong Kong?, Taiwan?, etc. Any chance of getting 90 day entries?, or a multiple-entry visa for a year or two?
I am from the UK. Up to now, I have just been visiting China once or twice a year on tourist visas. I am not currently residing in China.
