Dear sir
i like to visit to china how can apply visa pls inform me what are the documents needed
Thanks hameed

 Answered by Ms. Hannah
You can apply for it from the Chinese embassy. For a tourist applicant, in principle he need to provide his passport with blank pages and at least 6 months validity left before expiration; a truly and completely filled application form affixed with one passport-sized photo; evidence of his financial capability of covering the travelling expenses there, and when necessary, provide the air, train or ship tickets to the heading country/region after leaving. For the applicants who come to visit relatives, some are required to provide invitation letters from their Chinese relatives.

Can a British citizen apply for a China tourist visa in Sri Lanka?
Hello, I am a British citizen, retired, and I would like to ask if I can apply for a 6 month or 12 month multi-entry China tourist visa at the China visa centre in Colombo, Sri Lanka. If yes, then what is the cost? Very many thanks.

Do you stay there for a longtime? If not, it is hard to apply for a Chinese visa there.

Hello Gloria and thank you for your reply. I reguarly visit Sri Lanka on a toruist visa, valid for 6 months, and usually stay 3-6 months when I visit Sri Lanka. I am not resident in Sri Lanka. I am a British citizen and I am resident in the United Kingdom. So do my circumstances mean I can apply for a China Tourist visa while I am on vacation in Sri Lanka? I am an old age pensioner, 66 years of age.

It may be a little hard for you to apply for a Chinese visa in the third country. Generally, the rejection rate would be high and it is still suggested to apply for it in the UK.
