The Chinese Visa
Everyone requires a Chinese visa but the good news is that it is easy to obtain although you should allow plenty of advance planning. Normally visas are issued up to 3 months in advance of travel and are valid for stays of up to 30 days. You need one fully blank page and minimum 6 months validity of your passport. Allow plenty of time to obtain the visas in order to avoid last minute panics and embassy express fees!

How to Obtain the Chinese Visa
There are two ways a Chinese visa can be obtained:
• Through the Chinese Visa Application Service Centres (CVASC) which are worldwide. In the UK they have offices in London and Manchester. CVASC is the official visa service of the Chinese embassy and they offers a postal visa service or you can make an appointment to visit one of their offices. More information can be found on their website. We can provide any advice and supporting paperwork you may need if you have booked your trip through us.
• Through a specialist visa agent. In the UK we recommend Travcour and in the USA A.Briggs.
