For the Indian visa application we need to apply in person on the 24th as I will be busy for the following days so we should meet in the morning of the 24th at the Indian visa office and apply for a double entry tourist visa.
I'm in the US at the moment and not back until the 23rd and will then fill in all the paperwork. China visa application will follow but as previously mentioned a government invitation letter will not be available but I now have my old passport with me which has the previously provided multiple entry visa in it.
Regards,
