Chinese Visa

Having over 75 years of experience in travel to Russia and beyond, IntouristUK offer competitive prices, the fastest processing times and a full visa support and processing service. In addition to providing comprehensive travel services to Russia we supply travel arrangements to China and are able to offer a full Chinese visa paperwork and processing service. All visitors to China require a valid Chinese visa.

As previously mentioned, you must have a Chinese visa when entering China, and this is issued at the discretion of the Chinese Consulate.

We offer two types of Chinese visa services:

Tourist visa - for tourists
Business visa - for Business Travellers

Regardless which type of visa you need to enter China, you can obtain a single or double entry. In addition, business travellers can select the option of obtaining a multi entry Chinese visa.

How to Apply for a Chinese Visa

The process of applying could prove complicated without the help of IntouristUK. Therefore, once you have booked the Chinese visa service with IntouristUK, we can help to make sure that the application form is filled out correctly with our full visa checking service. Please find more information about the Chinese visa application process on our applying for a Chinese visa page.

Please find more information regarding invitation documents on our Chinese Visa Invitation page.
