I live in Shenzen part of the year. Between going to Hong Kong and back Macao and back and other travels my passport runs out of pages quickly. So when i am in Manila i go to the American embassy and they add pages in one day with no fee.

Do they just add new, blank pages, or do they swap out the expansion pages? The U.S. passport books don't look like they're meant to be very thick, especially the new ones with the RFID chips.

You are right, the ones I had looked just like this one minus the retangular chop.

Guess we've all got to go get our passports stuffed full of these supplement pages from now on if we wish to frequent the umbrellas stands.

But, like if I give them one I had from a few years back (the ones w/o the corner chop), they would still chop it, right? Like they did with yours.

1.The papers probably did not have the rectangualr chop on it a few years back but as far as I can remember, at least for the aest couple or so years, its always had these chops. Please refer to the attached picture and the rectangualr chop on the paper when it was originally given out by the Gongbei visa office.

2. These forms are NO LONGER available from this Gongbei office - ran out and no plans to reprint/have avaialble in the future.

3. Guangzhou East border crossing will still issue a paper for those holding the APEC card - but these papers are only good for 8 chops or 4 visits as the reverse cannot be used.

BEIJING — China has issued a sweeping directive requiring all personal computers sold in the country to include sophisticated software that can filter out pornography and other “unhealthy information” from the Internet

The software, which manufacturers must install on all new PCs starting
July 1, would allow the government to regularly update computers with an ever-changing list of banned Web sites.

I filter my pictures already for a number of years. It's a pass through filter, set to shaven asians, incl. lesbians and thongs. I set the filter to maximum 60Kg too.

But jokes aside, I know it's no funny matter at all. My guessing is that this campaing will be as successful as whiping out prostitution.

I have gotten a few of these from the Gong Bei crossing but have always gotten blank white ones with the grid (squares) for the chops. Never one with a retangular chop in the corner.

Hello,

I've only crossed at Gongbei one time and I never saw these crossing papers. I live in SHenzhen and cross regularly to HOng Kong and hate that my damn passport fills up with worthless Chinese visa stamps.

Could someone post an image of these gongbei visa papers and does anyone know if such a service exists at any hong kong crossing point? At least I am lucky enough to have a HK travel pass but I still waste too much paper with the Chinese stamps.

I got the paper from the gong bei immigration officers a few years back when I was going back and forth from Macau daily, and sometimes several times a day. After a few week, your passport pages are all used up and then they would give you these supplement pages (cards) that you could use. I think it may just be a gong bei thing. I don't know. I have never had them stamped going across shenzhen or entering via shanghai. even when I gave them these white cards, the officers at shenzhen and shanghai still would stamp my passport.

Internet bars in China may suffer some fallout from this new regulation.

I also read that story in a newspaper. My guess is that every small electronics shop in China will soon be deleting that "unhealthy software" for a price.

If you have the chance to cross at gongbei just show them the form that I attached earlier and ask for an original, if they don't have one then ask them to chop that copy. Worst thing that can happen is a "no" from the guards.

Ahhhh.... I see.

I've been getting these pieces of papers for well over 5 years and as far as I can recall, I ALWAYS receive them with a chop in red NOT in the area where the border guards would put their chops on. These chops - as far as I understand as I don't read chinese - is the official chop of the particular issuing office. A round red one from the Guangzhou East post and a small rectangular one from the Gongbei office. It's these chops that I worry about - as I necessarily color photo copy the form INCLUDING said red chop.

Anybody here know where else I can get these visa stamp papers? Genuine ones?

That form is from Gongbei and I don't recall ever getting one which was pre-chopped. I always got a blank one, but that was well over 10 years ago.

Actually that form was fully chopped, I just removed them from the pix before posting it here.

I see the picture you posted and it has NO red chop on it at all. What I have is also a blank paper, BUT, it already has a red seal from the Gongbei Border office which gave me the piece of paper. NO, not any of the chops they put when one actually crosses a border but a little red rectangular chop on the upper right hand corner of the front page on the otherwise blank form.

Oh no, we are just chat friends. I never expected to see her. The sex idea only came up after she moved to SZ.

But it's really no point to bother about bad sex as long as I still have healthy hands. Not sure I will see her again, I doubt there will be improvement.

Errrrr...... I read and re-read your post..... and still come back to the same question. Do you have a blank paper without ANY red chops on it??
