Thank you for the info. Having toured much of China before we have decided to stay on board in this instance and pick up Shanghai on a future visit combined with other places.

HI there. Any suggestions please. We leave uk early October on a round the world trip. According to the Chinese embassy in London you can only apply for a visa up to 3 months ahead of the arrival. We don't arrive there until mid March on a cruise ship. 144 hour T.W.O.V no good as our cruise docks in both Tianjin and Shanghai which are in different provinces. Can we buy a China visa from the embassy whilst in Australia pre cruise? Can we just use the Shanhai TWOV and not get off in Tianjin? Basically what can we do other than cancel the cruise please?
