Where can I get a visa?

There are three ways for China citizens to apply for foreign visas: (1) I apply directly to foreign embassies and consulates in China; (2) Entrust the visa office of China Travel Agency (generally limited to tourist visas); (3) Foreign relatives and friends directly apply for a visa to the country's immigration bureau. The adoption of the above three methods depends on the situation. If I am familiar with the situation and the embassy accepts individual applications, I can apply for a visa directly to embassies and consulates in China. Some countries don't have embassies in China, so foreign relatives and friends should apply for entry permits there. After approval, relatives will send it to the applicant, and the applicant can start his journey abroad with his passport and returned visa.

Legal basis: Article 9 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Exit and Entry Administration.

China citizens shall apply for passports or other travel documents when leaving or entering the country. China citizens who want to go to other countries or regions also need to obtain visas or other entry permits. However, unless the China government has signed visa exemption agreements with other governments or the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs provide otherwise. China citizens who leave or enter the country as seafarers and work on foreign ships shall apply for a seaman's certificate according to law.
