If necessary, the air ticket, train ticket or ship ticket to destination after leaving China is required. For people who come for visiting kin, the invitation letter from their kin should be provided.
 

How the aliens apply for the notarial deed that will be used in China?

Chinese embassy or consulate in foreign countries doesn't accept notarization application from the foreign citizens (including ethnical Chinese with foreign nationality), so aliens should first apply for notarization to concerned authorities in their own countries. Then they take the Notarial Deed to apply for authentication to Chinese embassy or consulate.
 

Group Visa to China

Chinese Group Visa is for foreigners who come in tour groups. The biggest difference from other types is that it is issued on a separate paper instead of on the passports. Moreover, all the members of the tour group should enter and exit the Chinese border together. One tour group has at least five people.  


 Please contact Embassy of Qatar in China if Qatari citizens are in troubles there.

As I know, normal Qatar passport holders can visit China visa-free for at most 30 days. Generally, a visa application needs 4-5 working days.

I heard some Chinese embassies have stopped the online appointment now. However, I haven't seen any official notice on the official website of the Chinese Embassy in Qatar, so it is better to contact it to confirm directly.
