Multiple entry visa eligibility?

[markg]

Hi, sorry if this is a silly or obvious question, but after having trawled through different threads and websites I haven't seen a clear answer.

Is there eligibility restrictions on multiple entry tourist visas? I will be applying with Australian passport.

Thanks!

A clear answer?  I can only say that I got one about a month ago, a  6 month 60 day L type visa on my Australian passport.

 

It was not straight forward.  It would have been a lot easier to get a double entry.  I used a travel agent to sort it out, but there were a few hassles with it.

Multiple-entry visas are quite easy these days for American, Canadian, and British citizens, especially applying in their own countries. For others it varies a lot, but they almost always stand a better chance applying at home. (If you're of Chinese descent, especially if you have relatives in China, then the situation may be different.)
