Special Notices:
Because of the rapid spread of COVID-19 across the world, China has decided to temporarily suspend entry into China by foreign nationals holding visas or residence permits still valid (effective from March 28th, 2020). This policy is still effective. Bearers of multiple-entry visas (except those who are holding valid Chinese resident permits for work, private affairs and family reunion) that are issued before March 28th, 2020 are unable to enter China with the existing visa.
Normally, the Chinese Consulate General issues a one-entry visa that is valid for three months from the date of issue. Visa fee and Service fee will apply.
Applicants are kindly advised not to book their flight before obtaining the visa.
