What is required to apply for visa?

The applications should be completed in all respects and should be signed by the applicant himself. Incomplete applications or those signed by a proxy will not be accepted. Applications can be submitted in person by the applicants themselves or through their representative/s. Applicants are solely responsible for the applications they submit. Any false documents or other misrepresentation of information in support of their application will have a direct bearing on the judgment of their application by the Embassy of India.

Note: Those holding multiple valid passports of different countries must apply only on the passport on which Chinese visa is affixed.

Applicants of foreign nationals

Visas will be issued only after clearances are received by the Embassy from their country of origin or country of domicile prior to coming to China, therefore applicants of foreign nationals should pay additional fees of 100 RMB for reference.

Please note that validity of visa starts from the date of issue and not from the date of travel. Visas are processed on receipt of the application, irrespective of the date of travel.

Please verify your particulars on the Visa after collection of your passport. Errors if any should be brought to the attention of the Indian Embassy.
