The visa is a sticker issued by the Chinese government and affixed to the passport. With this visa you have permission to enter the territory of China. This visa is usually issued by the Embassy of China or the Consulate General of China in The Hague.<br \/>\nThe visa will be checked during passport control in China. If you arrive by plane, the first visa check will probably already take place at the airport.<br \/>\nOur staff will work professionally to ensure that your visa application for China is presented flawlessly at the Chinese consulate or embassy, so you can travel with confidence.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Do I need a visa for China?&#8221;]All travelers with Dutch nationality, both tourist and business, need a visa for China.

This means that, upon receipt of your documents, we will contact you by telephone to schedule an appointment at the Chinese visa application center in The Hague where your fingerprints will be taken. Our service includes this standard appointment assigned in order of entry. You can also make use of emergency appointments in urgent cases<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Do I have to provide biometric data for each trip?&#8221;]\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">\n<p>No, after you have provided your biometric data, you can apply for a new visa without having to make an appointment again, if you travel with the same passport within 5 years.<\/p>\n<p>Pay attention! You may be invited to come to an interview. This is different from the biometric data appointment and should be done at the embassy itself instead of in the Visa Application Center.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How long can I stay in China?&#8221;]\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">How long you can stay in China depends on the type of visa you apply for.

You can also use our emergency procedure. To ensure that the visa is issued on time, we recommend that you submit the application a few weeks before departure. You can find more information about this on the delivery times page.<br \/>\nOther conditions of the visa for China can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/visa4travel.nl\/dreizen\/visa\/visa-china-application\/?lang=en\">here<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Is there an urgent procedure available?&#8221;]\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">Yes, the visa for China can also be applied for urgently.

Here, however, the requirement applies that you can present a copy of an old visa (which is not older than 12 months) and that you have at least 3 Chinese stamps in your passport, all three not older than 1 year.<br \/>\nIn all other cases it is possible to request a double entry, but you must be able to prove by means of a flight and hotel confirmation when you will enter the country both times.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Other (travel)stamps inside your passport&#8221;]\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"acctitle acctitlec\">\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">The Chinese government has become very strict since August 2016 when it comes to issuing visas to travelers with stamps in their passports from countries such as the Middle East, Egypt and Turkey. If, from 2015, you have obtained multiple stamps in your passport for one of these &#8220;risk&#8221; countries, we recommend enclosing a cover letter in English, containing:<br \/>\n\u2022 State when and why you visited the country<br \/>\n\u2022 State what your purpose of the trip has been<br \/>\n\u2022 Describe in as much detail as possible what you did there<br \/>\n\u2022 If possible, provide proof as well. Think of payments \/ purchase invoices, providing references such as friends \/ family you have visited there, any invitation letters, etc.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">There is a good chance that you will be called on interview at the embassy. So keep this in mind. This appointment is not the same as the appointment for the biometrics and can cause a longer processing time for your visa application. Please apply 6 weeks before departure, to make sure you will have enough time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Is it possible to apply as a group?&#8221;]\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"acctitle acctitlec\">\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">Yes, it is possible to add multiple travelers traveling to Russia together on one application form.

Ask us about the possibilities.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;When do I pay for the visa?&#8221;]\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"acctitle acctitlec\">\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">\n<div class=\"acc_content clearfix\">After submitting the online application form, you must make the payment.
