China Visas

All applicants who require multiple entry need to appear in person at the China Visa Application Centre to submit biometrics as required by the Chinese Government, however the exceptions to this rule are those that are under the age of 14 years old and over 70 years old who only have to send us their documents to us for a China visa.

Here at Direct Visas, we offer a comprehensive service to ensure that all documents are correctly checked and verified prior to the applicant travelling to the Application Centre; where one of our representatives will meet you with the checked paperwork to submit for approval to the centre.

Upon approval of the visa we will then collect it and return the passport to you with the visa inside.

Should you require any assistance in the preparation of the visa application, please contact us.

Please note that the following information is for UK passport holders, the Chinese consulate may have additional requirements for other nationalities. 

All documents must now be uploaded during the completion of the application form (please see visa requirements). This will then be reviewed by the Chinese government (3-10 Days), and the approval will be sent via email.

The online form can be challenging and time-consuming to complete. Direct Visas can complete the form for you, please complete the following Chinese_Visa_Form_Questionnaire and return to us along with a JPEG photo image file sized between 40KB and 120KB and the supporting documents. The additional fee for this service is £20.00 plus VAT.
