[Bonetools] Worked Bone Research Meeting 2013

Sat Sep 22 17:21:56 CEST 2012

Dear All, I just looked on the PRChina’s website. US citizens will need a letter from the appropriate agency for either a business or a tourist visa. Can we arrange to get letters of invitation for all members of the WBRG who plan to attend the meetings in China? Pam

Hi Alice,

A friend of mine needed a lot of documents for a visa to China, but succeeded eventually. This is some time ago, it is probably easier now. So I guess it shouldn't be a problem anymore?

Dear Marloes,
    Maybe I missed something but last year I could get a visa in a few hours to China - normally (with non-dummies who remember that they NEED a visa in due time). 
Here is information for a tourist visa for 30 days which is what you all need as issued by the embassy in Budapest.
      Number of Entry 
     Citizens of Hungary and other countries 
     American citizens 

      Single Entry 
     8000Ft 
     32000Ft 

      Double Entry 
     12000Ft 
     32000Ft 

      Multiple Entry for 6 Months 
     16000Ft 
     32000Ft 

      Multiple Entry for 12 Months 
     24000Ft 
     32000Ft 

The regular processing time is 4 working days. For express service, additional fees of 7000Ft for 1 working day processing (applications presented before 10:30am may be picked up between 11:00-11:45am on the same day), and 4500Ft for 2-3 working days processing will be charged. 

You must use the visa within 90 days of it being issued.

I guess the most difficult part is that everyone needs to go directly to this embassy at least although there are plenty of agencies who will do all the legwork for a fee. /

If i have missed something please correct me. I can ask Xiaolin directly if we needs some other kind of visa but I would be surprised.

Cheers!

Alice

  Dear all,

  A visa for China requires a lot of paperwork and so on, but if we can get a formal invitation from a Chinese resident it is much easier. At least this accounts for Europe, but I am sure this also applies to America.

  Best wishes,
  Marloes

  Hi Alice,

  Doug and I are facing the same problem. We need to be in Honolulu for the SAA, and we will try to go onward to China from there. I have a lighter teaching load in the spring, so I can probably arrange the time off with some creativity. My travel funds will take me as far as Honolulu, but Doug is retired and may need some help. We are both so excited about the possibility of going to China. We have some really interesting worked mandibles from a first millennium BCE site in Uzbekistan. The site was excavated by a Chinese colleague, and she is very anxious for us to present our work in China. We also have a Chinese PhD student in zooarchaeology here at NYU this year, and she is going to try to make it to the conference. 

  Do you know how we get a visa for China? Does this take a long time?

  Dear Fotis,
      Yeah, and an on-line journal means COLOR!! And unlimited images. I will pass on this mad your desire of yours to help to Danny. As you know there is never any shortage of work, only money.

  Cheers!
  Alice

    Dear Alice,
    A journal on archaeological ornaments? Now that's a splendid idea! 
    Do count me in for providing any help...

    Best, Fotis

      Dear Petar,
           Absolutely - this part of the year is going to be really
      exciting. Actually, Anna will be in Moscow so if you ever had the urge
      to visit your northern cousins this is the time to do it. I flew to
      China with Finnair via Helsinki and was VERY satisfied. I suspect that
      if you order the flight enough in advance you can get rather cheap
      rates. I am in a bit of a trouble over the China trip and how I will
      organize it because the previous week I must be in Honolulu for the
      SAA's. Danny Bar-Yosef and I will have a session on beads and
      ornaments. We are also seriously considering starting a peer-reviewed
      on-line journal for archaeological beads and ornaments so i really
      must make it some how to that meeting. Maybe my best bet will be to go
      to my father first and from there to Hionolulu and from there to China
      and then back but it may kill me.

      Love,
      Alice

      PS Xiaolin was very worried that no one will want to come. It was my
      idea to throw in the warriors. Zhengzhou is a horrible hole of a place
      however the provincial archaeology is totally and absolutely
      unbelievable.
