Can I get a tourist visa now?

It can apply for a visa, but it cannot go abroad.

I got the visa, but it doesn't matter if I didn't get it. I didn't go abroad for various reasons. Do not use it. But there will also be some influence. I applied for a visa to Thailand before, but I can't go to Thailand within the validity period of the visa because of family affairs. This visa will expire after its expiration. If I want to go to Thailand next time, I will reapply for a visa.

Occasionally I will apply for a visa, but I won't. Do not use it. Basically, it won't be okay. But if you apply for a visa from the same country twice or more, but you don't, you can apply for a visa from this country again if you don't need it. If you don't have a proper reason, its visa officer is likely to be unhappy and accepted. I won't give you a visa.

Therefore, it is best to determine the general itinerary before applying for a visa.

: China will not open visas to foreign countries in 2002. The reason is simple: COVID-19 is hard to control this year.

North America is developing deeply, and Europe is also surging. Japan, South Korea and India in Asia are also not optimistic. The situation in Russia is also not optimistic.

The situation in Southeast Asia is unknown. From now on, basically only China is under control. At present, several provinces and cities in the north have some problems, which were introduced from abroad in various ways. So my conclusion is that China will not open its visa when the worldwide epidemic is under control.
