As a result of the introduction of biometric visas, for which fingerprints are now required, each applicant must appear in person at the Visa Center from 12.01.2021. The submission of fingerprints is valid for 5 years, provided that the application is made with the same passport. Thus, AVS can fully recover the subsequent visa applications (within the 5 years).
At the time of application, AVS can meet the applicants at the Visa Center so that only the fingerprints must be submitted by the applicants - we can continue to carry out the rest of the process (see Guideline).
All persons entering China must be placed in quarantine for 2 weeks.
In addition to the visa, you need a certificate of negative nucleic acid and IgM antibody test results before boarding. You will find all necessary information in the blue box.
When entering China, various regulations must be taken into account. Under the following link you will find all the information about them. Please read everything carefully and follow them so that you do not have any complications during entry & boarding or even be denied travel.
