Hello, 

in future a Chinese visa application will be made through the Chinese Visa Application Service Center portal: https://www.visaforchina.org. The completed visa application will be signed by the traveler and submitted as before with all documents to the Chinese Konsular Provider.

By the beginning of May 2019, there will be a transitional period in which visa applications will be accepted without entry into the China Konsular Provider's portal.

With the German Visa and Consular Society, you can continue to apply for your visa application in the usual way. They use all the advantages of the electronic creation of the visa application, as well as the storage of the visa-relevant information in privacy-protected environment. Take advantage of the many advantages of the German Visa and Consular Society, such as the automatic choice of the correct place of delivery, the visa expiration reminder service and the digital passport photo service.

During the transitional period, we will maintain the current process. We will inform you about the change at an early stage.
