What would be the best time for me to apply for a visa before my planned departure for China?

2024-07-12

It is advisable that you apply for your visa approximately one month prior to your intended date of entry into China, but not earlier than three months. If you apply for a visa too early, the visa might expire before your arrival to mainland China. For instance; if you plan to enter China on 1^st of July, the best time to submit your application would be around 1^stof June (counting working days only).

If you are a dual national or multi-national, you may be requested to provide all current valid passports in your possession. Additionally, you may be required to provide your previous passport(s) in support of your application.

Please ensure you contact us shortly before your intended date of travel for the most up-to-date information regarding your visa application.
