Fill in and submit the visa application form. Different visas have different forms. Most of them should be filled out in foreign languages and their photos should be provided at the same time. 4.

The embassy or consulate shall submit the completed visa application forms and necessary supporting materials to the competent domestic departments for examination and approval. The embassies and consulates of a few countries have the right to issue visas directly, but they still have to report them to China for the record. 6.

2. Ways for China to apply for a visa Most countries that have established diplomatic relations with China have established embassies or consulates in China. The embassy is located in Beijing, the capital, and the Consulate General is located in cities with developed economy and large population, such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenyang and Chengdu. Some countries or regions that have not yet established embassies or consulates either have consulates in Hong Kong or entrust other offices to handle visa affairs. There are three ways for China citizens to apply for foreign visas: 1. I apply directly to foreign embassies or consulates in China. 2. Entrust the visa office of China Travel Agency to apply (generally only for 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 the embassy or consulate of that country in China. Some countries do not have embassies in China, so foreign relatives and friends should apply for entry permits locally. After approval, relatives will send them to the applicants, and the applicants can start their journey abroad with their passports and returned visas. Foreign consulates in China are responsible for applying for visas to their countries by people within their consular areas. Therefore, visa applicants should know in advance about going to Chinese embassies, consulates and jurisdictions.
