How To Obtain Your China Visa
Chinese visas can be easily applied for 3 months prior to the trip. This can be done by visiting the Visa Offices or Chinese Embassies in your home country. We will provide all the information and documents for your visa application. All applicants should submit an application in person or through a third party (e.g. travel agency).
Group Visa
A tourist group should comprise at least 5 members. Group Visas can be easily applied for 3 months prior to departure. Simply download the Group Visa Application Form. One member of the group or a travel agent courier should be responsible for taking the applicants visa documentation to the Chinese embassy in person.
