 Important Notice about Chinese Visa Application 
From July 7th, 2009, all the ordinary passport holders must go to the Chinese Visa Application Service Centre (CVASC) to submit applications for a Chinese visa, and the General Consulate of China in Manchester doesn't accept any applications from ordinary passport holders. 

CVASC is a commercial entity completely independent from the Chinese Consulate General in Manchester, neither its visa office, nor part of it, nor its subordinate. CVASC has no involvement in the visa assessment and decision-making process. Whether a visa is to be issued or not, and what type of visa is to be issued as well as its period of validity, number of entry and duration of stay shall be decided by the Chinese Consulate General in Manchester in the light of China's relevant laws and regulations.

CVASC will collect visa fees from each applicant on behalf of the Chinese Consulate General in Manchester, and at the same time charge each applicant a fee for its service regardless of approval or rejection of his or her visa application by Consulate General.
