Below is a sample set of requirements for visiting China using a Tourist Visa Visa. These requirements are only a SAMPLE. To get the EXACT requirements for you to visit China, please go to our TripBuilder page and enter in your specific information that is your exact situation.
Effective immediately, the Consulate of China in New York now requires notarized copies of proof of US status for all non-US citizens. This means you must submit a notarized copy of your Green Card, I-94, or I-20 with your visa application to ensure smooth processing.
NOTE: Processing times for all China visas start the day AFTER we receive all correct physical documents in office. This does not include shipping times.
In this video we go over the common mistakes with China Tourist Visas
• Submit your current, signed passport. Visas are stamped directly into the passport, so the original is required.
Submit two (2) identical, color, passport-style photographs. The photos must be recent and generally should not be the same as those used for the passport itself.
Photo Criteria:
• Plain white background
• Printed on photo paper
• No glasses or jewelry
• Neutral expression
• Provide a legible, color copy of the front AND back of your driver's license or state-issued ID. No other forms of residency proof are accepted.
• If you have ever visited Turkey or Pakistan, complete and provide the affidavit below.
• Submit previous Chinese visas. If they are in an old passport, include that passport or provide a letter explaining its absence (e.g., lost, stolen, damaged).
• Applications for minors are treated individually. Additional requirements apply.
• Submit your previous Chinese passport or proof of a previously issued Chinese visa. Former Hong Kong citizens must provide an original previous Chinese visa or appear in person at the nearest Chinese Embassy or Consulate.
• Complete the China Travel History Form.
• Complete the Where You Stay form.
• Complete the online visa application.
• Submit a completed job description form. This fillable PDF must be printed and included with your application.
• For US citizens, China typically issues a visa valid for multiple entries up to 10 years if the passport is valid for more than a year. In some cases, the visa might be limited to fewer entries or a shorter validity period.
• Applicants who work in the media or for a media company must appear in person to submit their application. We cannot assist media industry applicants in any capacity. (We can assist with Document Preparation and Pre-Check Service.)
