Payment is made on collection. You may pay by credit card, bank card, bank cheque, company cheque, or money order. In case of cheque, the "payee" should be CONSULATE GENERAL OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA IN PERTH. Cash and personal cheque are not acceptable.

 Requirements for Chinese Visa Application
As for the detailed information about required documents for different types of China visa, please carefully read this website http://perth.china-consulate.org/eng/lszj/t885579.htm

 Means of Visa Application
1. You can submit visa application to the embassy and pick up your visa in person. 

2. You can entrust your friend, relative, a travel agency or a visa agency to do so. The visa application form should be signed by you. 

3. From December 1, 2010, the Chinese Consulate General in Perth stops mailling service for visa application. Mailed applications are not accepted and will be returned.

4. No appointment is required.
 
 Tips for Visa Applicants
1. Generally speaking, the validity of a visa is three months, so please submit applications one or two months before planned time to China. 

2. If some items in the Visa Application Form are not suitable for you, you can write N/A.

3. The 'Pick Up Form' you get when you submit application is the only proof for getting back your passport and visa. If it is lost, only the passport holder with his Identity Card can retrieve his passport.

4. Required documents for visa application can not be made any change after submitting.
 
5. Except for passport, all other required documents for visa application will not be returned to you once they are submitted to the consulate, therefore, you should make photocopies beforehand. You present the originals and copies of the documents to the visa officials, the original documents will be returned to you after verifying and the photocopies will be left in the embassy. 

6. Z visa, X visa, D visa or J-1 visa is one entry visa with 3-month validity (enter before). Holders of the visa should apply for Resident Permit in the local Public Security Bureau within 30 days after entering into China.
