Does Belarus grant visa-free treatment to China? For countries that grant visa-free treatment to China, 20 18 Russian invitation letters will be issued.

In fact, many places in China are now visa-free, and it will be much more convenient for everyone to travel in the future. The following small series will tell you about visa exemption. In 20 18, new countries will grant visa-free access to China, as well as some countries that have already granted visa-free access.

Free? It's free. On August 10, the agreement between China and Belarus on visa exemption for ordinary passport holders came into effect! Belarus became the first 13 country to grant visa-free access to China.

What are the necessary visa-free procedures? In the visa submission document, the requirements are: the original invitation letter issued by the Russian travel agency or hotel to confirm the reception of foreign tourists (the invitation letter can be printed by itself, please see the following, and printing it by itself may lead to the invalidation of the visa).

Tips:

All the materials needed are

1. Original valid passport and a copy of the first page of the passport.

2. A two-inch photo (3.5cm× 4.5cm)

3. The original invitation letter issued by the Russian travel agency or hotel to confirm the reception of foreign tourists (the invitation letter can be printed by itself, see below, and self-printing may lead to the invalidation of the visa).

4. An electronic visa application form filled in on the website of the Russian embassy or consulate.

5. Copy of the round-trip air ticket (the air ticket will be enough for traveling to travel itinerary, and the air ticket notice will be enough for not traveling to travel itinerary).

6.

Visa fee remittance receipt. One-time entry visa fee is 345 RMB (price: 2065438+July 2007). Originally, the consulate did not accept cash, so it was necessary to remit money to the financial account of the consulate in a nearby bank (posted in the window of the consulate visa office), and then give the remittance receipt to the consulate staff. According to the information provided by enthusiastic netizens, some consulates can already pay with UnionPay cards, and the Beijing Consulate can accept cash (I have not verified the authenticity of this information).

7. Submit the material reservation form

Introduction of Invitation Letter Method 1: Hotel

When booking a hotel, please pay attention to the contents in the "Booking Notes". Some hotels can provide visitors with free invitation letters for visa support (below). For hotels that offer free invitation letters, please email or leave a message to the hotel to confirm whether the original invitation letter can be sent to you by express delivery for free. Some hotels offer free express delivery, while others need to charge a certain postage. The postage is generally 8- 15 USD (slow delivery is about 3-4 weeks). 20-25 USD (express delivery 1-2 weeks or so) once. (2065438+June 2005 price). If many people stay, they can send it by post at one time, and there is not much money for everyone to share the postage.

Some hotels can offer visa support invitations, but they need extra fees. Generally, the cost of inviting a single person to travel ranges from tens of RMB to more than one hundred RMB. The business invitation letter is between 200-400 yuan RMB. (below)

Many hotels in Russia can provide visa support. Click on several hotels you have booked, and you can always find visa support services. It is easy to find.

When booking a hotel, be sure to indicate in the column of "Special Customer Requirements" that you need visa support services (мненуен).

If you book a hotel that provides visa support, they will send you an email telling you what to do. The invitation letter will usually be provided to you within 3-7 working days. You can skip the next step (applying for an invitation letter) and skip to the third step (applying for a visa application form).

If you book a hotel that does not provide visa support, you can also apply for an invitation letter from a travel agency yourself. The steps are as follows:

Method 2: Apply for an invitation letter for visa support

If the booked hotel cannot provide an invitation letter for visa support, you need to apply for it yourself. Two application websites are provided below:

GoingRus is suitable for most friends to apply, with Chinese interface, affordable price and simple procedures.

HotelPro is suitable for applying for business invitations, and it is also recommended for unemployed people or freelancers to travel invitations, with a higher success rate. But it's expensive.

Note: unemployed people or freelancers can try to apply with GoingRus first, and then use HotelPro if the application fails. Generally speaking, going to Moscow for approval is strict, and other cities are ok.

GoingRus

This website is generally used to apply for travel invitations. The website is (/ru), with a Chinese interface. It is convenient and affordable to apply. It is recommended that most friends choose this website. The only drawback is that the success rate of applying for business invitations on this website is low, and the success rate of approving unemployed people (including freelancers) is also low.

If the website has not been revised, you will see such an interface when you enter the website (below).

Click the five-star red flag in the upper right corner (above), switch to the Chinese interface, and select "Visa invitation to Russia" (below).

If the website has not been modified, an interface will appear (as shown below), where you can select nationality, visa type and number of tourists. The price on the right will show $ 15 or more than 90 RMB (depending on the exchange rate on the day you fill in the form).

Then click Next. If the website is not revised, the interface will appear (as shown below). Just follow the prompts and fill it out yourself. Chinese interface is convenient.

Then choose the city you want to go to and write down all the cities you want to go to. (Above) Fill in the email and phone number below. Note: Email address is very important. The invitation letter is sent to you electronically. Please fill in a valid email address.

Then select payment, and select the payment method (as follows) on the next page to complete the payment. The general invitation letter will be sent to you within 3-7 working days.

The invitation letter required by the Russian embassy to apply for a visa is the original. In fact, the difference between the original and the electronic version is that the seal of the original is inked and the signature is handwritten. The electronic version sent to you by email is a scanned copy of the original. I personally handled four Russian visas in Shenyang Consulate, all of which were printed electronically (printed at home). Successfully signed it four times. However, many enthusiastic netizens reported that the Beijing Consulate must use the original. The Shanghai consulate is a spot check. Guangzhou consulate has little information. Some people say that the printed copy was successfully checked out, and some people say that the materials were typed back. All private visa centers do not accept printed copies.

So, if you want to be on the safe side, you can ask the other party to express the original invitation letter to you. This can generally be cancelled. If you want to take a chance and save some money at the same time, try printing it yourself. At least I haven't been rejected.

If you want to print an invitation, if the format has not been modified, the invitation sent is as shown in the figure below. I blocked some personal information. Print at least two invitations on A4 paper, one for the Russian embassy to apply for a visa and the other for you to take with you when you travel to Russia.

To reiterate, it is cheaper to print the invitation yourself, but there is a certain chance that the visa will fail.

At this point, I believe that most of my friends' visa support invitations will be completed. If you need to apply for a business invitation, please use the following hotel.

Pro processing. If you are unemployed or freelancer, and your application is unsuccessful on the above website, please also use the following HotelPro to apply.

HotelPro

HotelPro is good at applying for business invitations or applying for travel invitations for unemployed/freelancers. The success rate is high, but it is expensive (the price is about four times that of GoingRus).
