Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend my tourist visa after entering China?

Usually, the stay duration of a China visa will be 90 days. However, if the foreign national wishes to extend this time period, he or she can apply for an extension at the local Exit and Entry Administration of China seven days before the visa’s expiry.

My child is nine years old. Should I need to take him for the biometric (fingerprint) process to obtain China tourist visa?

No, there is no need to take biometric for your child if he is nine years old. As per new rules, all foreign nationals aged between 14 and 70 are required to complete the biometric (fingerprint) process to obtain the China visa. However, for children below 14 years, and adults above 70 years, the biometric process is not mandatory. If you are a foreign national with ten mutated fingers, you will be exempted from the biometric process.

What are the specifications while taking photograph for China tourist visa?

A recently taken photograph should be submitted. Please note that the photo should be taken in color format, and it should have a white background.

Photograph requirements: Photo size: 48mmx33mm, width of head: 15mm to 22mm, height of head: 28mm to 33mm.

What should I do if I am a frequent traveller to China for tourism purposes?

However, the maximum stay length per entry for 10-year China tourist visas will be 60 days
