Note: If you live in other regions, please contact Chinese Embassy or Consulate according to consular justification. Change of Visa Fees
Because of the great change of the foreign exchange rate, the visa fee for Australians has been adjusted on February 1, 2009: 40 Australian dollars for single entry visa; 60 Australian dollars for double-entry visa; 80 Australian dollars for multiple-entry visa valid for 6 months; 120 Australian dollars for multiple-entry visa valid for one year. Change of Payment Means
As from May 20th, 2008, the Chinese consulate in Perth will not accept cash as means of payment. Only Credit Card, Company Check, Bank Check and Money Order are acceptable. The payee should be "Consulate General of the People's Republic of China in Perth". Requirements for Chinese Visa Application
After the ending of Olympics held in Beijing, the visa policy is not strict. Now, the hotel reservation and return air ticket are not required to provide for 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/t514431.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. You can send the visa application and receive your visa by mailing. You need to provide self-addressed and pre-paid return envelope, all required documents for a type of China visa, visa fees (regular visa fee and 10 A$ mailing service fee). Please enclose all of them in a big envelope. However, this method is not very safe and it maybe results in the loss or damage of your documents. 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, if you need keep them for reference, 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.

I am consultant to BHP-Billiton and presently stationed in Bunbury WA. I am holding Indian passport and have Australian business visa for one year. I have to visit China (Zhengzhou) in connection with organisation of an International symposium on Bauxite-alumina-aluminium (ICSOBA) during October 11-15, 2009. I have an invitation from Chinese company CHALCO and shortly book my return ticket. I will leave Australia on 30th September and stay first week of October in India. Since October first-second weeks are holiday time in China, can I get Chinese visa from your Perth office? Kindly confirm. Thanking you.

Yes, the consulate general of China in Perth will be closed during the China's National Day (October 1- 8), so you can apply for visa in September, not October, October is too late for you to apply.

No, it is not late to apply for a China visa, since it usually takes 4 working days for the China embassy to process a visa. Meanwhile, ther eis expedited service. So, don't worry about that.

The embassy does not have any designated agent, you may entrust anyone to do it at you own discretion. But you have to complete and sign the Visa Application Form yourself.
