hongputaojiu Posted May 30, 2011 at 11:30 AM Report Posted May 30, 2011 at 11:30 AM Hi guys I am wondering if anyone knows a good site for reserving accommodation which I need only for visa purposes, and can cancel as soon as I have printed it off! I need this for getting a 60 day visa rather than 30 days, and would prefer not to give cc details. Please dont judge me! Its just the only way based on my situation to do it at the moment! cheers hongputaojiu Quote
imron Posted May 30, 2011 at 12:03 PM Report Posted May 30, 2011 at 12:03 PM City Central Hostel in Beijing takes reservations without requiring a credit card, and you can reserve and cancel the reservation completely online: http://www.centralhostel.com/en/index.html Sometimes Chinese visa requirements can be really silly Quote
hongputaojiu Posted May 30, 2011 at 02:43 PM Author Report Posted May 30, 2011 at 02:43 PM thanks imron! i really appreciate it! if anyone knows any other cities which does the same thing that would be fantastic! (I need to mix it up a bit for the visa forms!!) Quote

imron Posted May 31, 2011 at 01:35 AM Report Posted May 31, 2011 at 01:35 AM In Australia, the last two times I've applied for a tourist visa I've needed to have both a booked flight and booked accommodation. Quote

abcdefg Posted May 31, 2011 at 09:56 AM Report Posted May 31, 2011 at 09:56 AM I see. It isn't required for China visas obtained in the US, which is why I asked. Quote
JenniferW Posted June 1, 2011 at 09:44 AM Report Posted June 1, 2011 at 09:44 AM Book any of the cheaper hotels using ctrip or elong, where you pay at the desk and no credit card details asked for - and then cancel before the date. Quote
hongputaojiu Posted June 1, 2011 at 10:35 AM Author Report Posted June 1, 2011 at 10:35 AM great, thanks! i will give it a try, didnt realise that elong didnt need cc details to book. cheers! Quote
