3. Know the procedures of application and make a good preparation of required documents, including:
the passport with at least 6-month Validity and two blank visa pages
the properly completed Chinese Visa Application Form with one recent passport photo attached on it.
the letter of introduction of your company
the round-trip airline ticket and its copy
4. Applicants can come to the embassy in person to submit application. They can also entrust someone else to submit application and pick up their visas.
5. The embassy doesn't accept applications by post/mail. Notice for Tourists to Tibet of China
Embassy of China in India is not authorized to issue visa to individual tourists who want to visit Tibet. Indian ordinary passport holders are required to join a Pilgrimage Group organized by Indian Ministry of External Affairs or authorized Indian Travel Agencies; they can also join Ordinary Tourist Group organized by local Indian Travel Agencies with arrangements from China International Travel Service Tibet.

Mr.SANJEEV JUNEJA(INDIA) said:
had been to China to attend the Canton Trade Fair in its last phase. My Jet Airways Flight 9W072 dated Oct. 29,2009 from New Delhi to Hongkong reached Hongkong on Oct. 30,2009 at early morning hours. There at the immigration check I along with my three business associates were taken to a separate room. When asked why are we being taken the officer on duty spoke very arrogantly to follow him. There after about ten minutes the same officer asked us to follow him again. When asked why we were taken in the room the same officer again spoke very rudly and said us to "leave immediately".
The officers had every right to check our documents and do other formalities before giving us the Visa of Hongkong BUT I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE OFFICER WAS SO ARROGANT AND RUDE TO US. We had a valid visa of China on our Passports and had all the hotel bookings in Ghonzhou, Hongkong and Macau.
We felt very humiliated at such an attitude of the honkong immigration Staff. I also tried to convey this to the senior officer incharge there at the airport but in vain.

I understand that a physical examination from a government hospital is required to be doen before applying for a visa. I have downloaded the standard format for this. But I would like to know if there are any authorised dorcots or hospitals who undertake this job? Can it be done in a municipal hospital in Mumbai (I am a resident of Mumbai) as there are many municipal hospitals than state / central govt hospitals.
Nov. 15,2009 01:20
Mr.Helper replied:
I think the municipal hospitals in Mumbai are accepted by the Consulate General of China in Mumbai for visa application, you'd better contact the consulate general to ensure it.
