FAQ

What is the ideal time to apply for China tourist visa?

It is recommended that you apply for a tourist visa in China one month prior to your desired date of entry. The Chinese government advises avoiding applying more than three months before your intended entry date.

The argument is that if you apply too soon, your visa may expire before you leave. On the other hand, if you apply too late, you may not be able to get your visa in time.
