Not too sure about China myself.

Herself applied twice to get a visa for our trip there last year.
The first excuse was that the picture in her passport did not look like a male

Maybe that's because she looks entirely female! The passport picture concerned was about the worst picture I have ever seen of her - it did look sort of androgenous.
She 'lost' that passport and got another with a more 'male' picture - very hard for her as Stogie will confirm.
The next excuse - 'we do not allow ladyboys in China'




I wrote and faxed my displeasure - couched in 'diplomatic terms' - to the embassies in Londan and Bangkok. They have never even acknowledged my communications.
When I arrived in BKK I went with her papers to apply for her. I handed them over the counter and the girl just said 'NO'
I said WHY NOT?


I did expect problems when we arrived in Bejing - but immigration there just skimmed through both our passports stamped them and waved us on.
