这是中领馆网站上英文版的要求:
I. Application for tourist /family visit visa (L-visa) must provide the following supporting documents:
A. Invitation letter from a Chinese organization or a permanent resident in China; or
B. Air ticket booking record (round trip) and hotel reservation.
A.来自中国的组织或者永久居民的邀请函, 或者
B.机票订票记录(往返)以及旅店订房记录
中文版的要求就不一样了:
一、 申请旅游、探亲(L字)签证须提供:
(一)国内单位或常住个人的邀请函;
(二)如无邀请函,请提供机票和酒店订单。
您看出差别了吗?
中国政府怕你们滞留在中国不回来,所以英文版上专门提到“往返”机票。中文版上不提是为了不让大家更反感,更闹心,更添堵。
真的不知道有几个到中国使馆去签证的加籍中国人会滞留中国不回来的。
I think it's fair since it applies to everyone, not only former Chinese citizens. What is not fair is that they require former Chinese citizens and their children born in Canada extra documents, even birth certificates. Why?
5月16日起办中国签证必须提供邀请函
