China visa application form guide

The China visa application form is long and detailed, and small mistakes lead to delays. Here’s what the China visa application form asks, and how we complete it for you.

Start my China visa application

What the China visa application form asks

  • Personal details exactly as in your passport, including any former names
  • Your job, employer and education
  • Family details, including parents and spouse
  • Your travel plans: dates, addresses and contacts in China
  • Travel history, including previous Chinese visas and countries visited
  • Security and health questions

Tips for completing the form

Make every detail match your passport and supporting documents exactly. List all the places you’ll stay. Answer every question honestly, including previous refusals. Print the form and its confirmation page for your appointment.

Let us complete it

With us, you answer simple questions online and upload your passport, which fills in your details automatically. We complete the official China visa application form, check it against your documents and book your appointment.

Common mistakes we see

  • Names or passport numbers that don’t match the passport exactly
  • Missing previous names, such as a maiden name
  • Leaving out hotels or addresses for part of the stay
  • Forgetting to declare previous refusals
  • Travel dates that don’t match the flights or invitation letter

Any of these can mean your application is sent back at the visa centre, and you have to rebook.
