I lost my visa for third country. Can I enter to China?

[junelove]

I am US citizen and having a flight tmomorrow night to go to China. After visiting China I am going to Vietnam. I had a temp. Residency in Vietnam but it looks like I lost my visa. What I am gonna try is I am going to apply e-visa in Vietnam now bring the letter or document saying I got approved for the vietnam visa and show it to immigration in China. 

 

Do you think it will work to enter China?

 

What should you recommend for this situation. I really have to go to two countries for business purpose but I lost third country visa. 

 

thank you.

I dont see why China wont allow you entry on the basis of you not having a Vietnam visa. 

 

Just carry the E-Visa document for Vietnam and you should be fine.

Wouldn’t your outbound ticket to Vietnam be enough to prove you are not staying in china for long?

Depending on how strict the airport personnel is at check-in, I imagine it's possible they won't let you on the plane if you can't get into a third country (Vietnam, in this case).

 

But what really intrigues me is that the OP writes: 'it looks like I lost my visa'. How do you lose your visa? Isn't it glued into your passport? And how can you be unsure whether you actually lost it?

I think she means she just realized her temporary Vietnamese visa has expired.

Some countries give loose leaf visas, and Vietnam seems to be one of them: https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g293921-i8432-k2120960-Loose_leaf_visa-Vietnam.html
