VISA application requirements

I'M a South African citizen preparing to travel to Shanghai for a conference. Do I need to apply for a VISA online? If yes, where do I access the application portal? If not, where do I access the application forms? Also, what documentation is needed for the VISA application? Do I need an appointment to visit the centre?

Answered by Mia | Sep. 03, 2023 20:45

Yes, you do need to apply for a visa in advance.

1. First, you should fill in an application form online first: cova.mfa.gov.cn and then make an online appointment at its official website: avas.mfa.gov.cn.

2. Take your valid passport, invitation letter, photos, and completed application form, to the local Chinese visa application service center to submit all the documents in person on appointed date.
