China Visas
Nearly all foreign visitors to China need a visa.
China visas can be obtained from Chinese embassies and consulates overseas. Visa forms are often available for download from the Chinese embassies' websites. A single-entry travel visa is designated as type L and is valid for 30 days. The visa must be used within 3 months of the date of issue. 90-day visas are also available.
You need:
* a completed visa application form
* a passport valid for at least six months from the intended date of entry into China
* a passport photo
* a passport with a blank double page page in it
You can normally collect your passport after three days in the UK, but if you pay extra, you can pick it up the next day, or the same day depending on the fee.
