Hi, you can probably apply for a Chinese visa in Athens. The essential documents require your passport with at least six months of remaining validity and blank visa pages, visa application form and recent photo, and invitation letter from your brother.

Natasha, this may affect the issuing but it's not that absolute. Anyway, if you are not on any blacklist, it's still very possible for you to get a positive result.

china visa application from Athens, Greece

i need a visa for China (multiple entry for 1 year). the applicant is an Australian passport holder and is currently in Athens. what is the best way to get the entry permit? or are there application service centre that we can approach?

Hi, I’m afraid it is difficult to get multiple entries when you make the application in a third country. You can try to make the application from the China embassy in Greece. But the result cannot be guaranteed. Good luck.

Greek citizen working in the UK and travelling to China from the UK

I work and live in the UK and I have a Greek EU passport (I have Greek nationality, born and raised in Greece). I am travelling to Hangzhou to attend and present at a user forum of the company I work for on the 29th of May 2018.

My question is the following, would I need a visa to travel to Hangzhou on this occasion? If I need one, can I do this through the Chinese embassy in the UK or the one in Greece (I am a UK resident)? Thank you very much in advance.

Chinese visa for U.K. resident

Hello, we will be on Greece for two months before flying to Shanghai from Athens to visit my son who lives there. Can we apply for our visas at the embassy in Athens and do we need an appointment or shall we just post all the information to them? How far ahead should we submit the application?

You can make the application in Athens. No need to make an appointment. Usually, you are advised to make the application one month prior to your trip.
