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.
