Have read a thread about a change in the procedure for applying for the visa. I am booked for China with the Yangtze Add On in September. When I booked the holiday I was under the impression that Just You organised a group visa. It would now appear from the thread that I read, that all passengers have to fill in their own seperate applications detailing their itineraries for the holiday. Is this true?. Bearing in mind that we normally only get the final confirmation of flights and hotels until approx 2 weeks before departure, how is it possible to fill these forms in with 100% accuracy guaranteed. Or have I misunderstood the thread that I read. I did pay the extra for Just You to arrange the Visa when I booked the holiday.

My Booking ref is ***. I cannot see how anyone can fill in a Visa application correctly if they have to wait for the final confirmation from Just You which is received only 2 weeks before you travel. After all Flights and Hotels can all change. I am probably missing something, which wouldn't surprise me.

Also how many are booked on this tour including the Yangtse Add On for 12th September.

Cheers

Hi Peter

Don't worry, you are on a group visa. This is usually the case if you are flying with the main group from the main departure airport. Confirmation is sent out with your final information approximately 14 days before you fly.

I'm not sure which thread you read but it was probably someone with different circumstances to you, possibly someone who booked late or is flying from a regional airport.

So far 17 have booked your holiday.

Kind regards

Hello E

You are also on a group visa. Our visa team says they sent you a text on 14 March to let you know your application had been received and was being processed so maybe you didn't get this. Our procedure is to get in touch 15 weeks before departure to let you know what you need to do - then you return the paperwork and we will do the rest!

Kind regards

Hello Everybody

I think there was a posting about someone getting their own Visa for the China trip! This may have confused people.
