China visa application

To obtain a visa to China, an official application form must be filled out . It must then be submitted to the relevant consulate together with other documents. If you use our visa service, please send us your documents.

The 9-page visa application form must be filled out in German, English or Chinese. Please mark fields that are not relevant with “N/A” or “-”. In principle, all data - if applicable - must be provided. If data is missing, the application will be delayed or rejected by the Chinese consulate. Please do not make any subsequent corrections, such as crossing out. Reprint the application if you have made mistakes to ensure legibility.

Fill out the form on the computer or in block letters. We will be happy to do this for you for a fee of €50.00.

The procedure for obtaining a visa to China is mostly self-explanatory. However, based on frequently asked questions, we offer our clients some hints and tips:
