8. 1. The F Visa in China is extremely hard to get, you need to make sure that the AIESEC have a proper Invitation Letter and need to be sent to Indonesia. And it needs a long time, beside they said that making F Visa for an EP AIESEC is almost impossible . In my case, I make an L visa cause its more easier, didn’t need many documents, and very convenient. You just need
•round trip plane ticket
•hotel booking, passport
•fill the form (they handed to you.) Because the L Visa only provided 30 days max. per each visit, so I need to get a visa for a multiple times entries and each entry will give me 30 days of staying permit.
VISA PROCESS
and I need to go out from Mainland China such as to Hong Kong or Macau then coming back again and my Visa will be extended automatically.
2. They will checked all your documents.
Each Visa has a different price based on how much entry you want and how long the Visa will be done (they have an express one, only one day and done, and the normal one 4-7 days)
3. They will contact you once the visa is ready.

11. 1. Make sure you have all the documents needed. Go to the Chinese Visa Centre. It’s not the embassy because a lot of people are applying for Chinese visas. 2. For an F visa, you need proof of accommodation and invitation letter (sent via post or something with real stamps from the organization or school), and also your itinerary, 4x6 colored photos with white background. 3. For China, you can only apply for a 30-day visa unless you have a duly(?) from China government.

31. Basically as the part of ASEAN community, we has a free pass entry to any country in ASEAN for 30 days. But since our program required minimum duration for the program is 6 weeks (+/-42 days), mean that we had to make specific visa for our special purpose which is doing social/cultural project. Here in this booklet, shared the various experience from the EP Returnees that have gone to the ASEAN countries. Some make the proper visa (based on the purpose), some make visa on arrival, and there are also some of them that just get into one country and go out for some days so that they could extend the visa. Just choose any ways that comfortable for you.
From AIESEC Indonesia side, we suggest you to have official permit for staying minimum 6 weeks based on the project durations.
