The Chinese Embassy in the UK this week effectively more than doubled the cost of a tourist visa - a move that will hit Brits planning to head out there for the Beijing Olympics in August, as well as thousands of other holidaymakers and gap-year travellers.
The new higher fees have also coincided with a tightening of the rules which make applying for a visa "much more complicated," according to one holiday expert. The cost of a standard "single entry" visa remains unchanged at £30 per person. But now there is an "application service fee" to pay, too. This is £35.25 per person - or £47 if you want an "express service".

The tightening of the rules drove me crazy. My recent application was done via this Chinese visa specialist in London, very efficient and worth paying 20pounds service fee to save the hassle.
