 Asked by Mrs. Kinoshita
1. Can I apply for a visa in Geneva or only in Berne?
2. Is it necessary to visit in person both to deposit the application and to pick it up? Or can it be returned by post?
3. Are there any special arrangements for diplomats?
Sorry for lots of questions. And thank you for providing this enquiry service - many Embassies don't!

 Answered by Mr. Albert
1. You have to go to Berne for application.
2. You must visit the embassy to deposit the application and pick it up in person or entrust a friend or travel agency to do it for you. The embassy doesn’t accept mail application and they don't provide post-back service.
3. No, but you'd better confirm it with the Chinese embassy in Berne.

  Asked by Mr. laurent
I am planning a trip to Shanghai and Beijing in the end of the month , but nothing is confirmed yet, do I need a return flight booked and the hotel address where I will stay in shanghai to get a visa or I can just turn up in Bern and will get it on the day. Thank you for your answer

 Answered by Mr. Warren
You have to get it in advance for your trip to Beijing and Shanghai.
The round-way air tickets and confirmed hotel booking are necessary.
