I asked for that, but she said they are not authorized to give such letters. She let me keep a copy of the application receipt, though, where it is stated that I applied for a G visa on a certain date. That's all.

I don't think it would ever be possible to obtain such a committing letter from them, whatsoever.

She examined my flight details, though, and said because the arrival and departure from KMG are within 24h, there would not be a problem. Yet this seems not to be exact.

Are you aware of any change in this rule since July 1st?

Million thanks!
