Where to Get the China Visa?
 外国人到中国应该去哪里申请中国签证?

A China visa is permission/proof issued by Chinese visa issuing authorities permitting foreigners entry to, exit from or transit through China. According to foreigners' status, their purposes for coming to China and the passport type, the Chinese visa issuing authorities may separately issue them the diplomatic visa, courtesy visa, service visa or ordinary visa. For the ordinary visa, there are eight categories, separately represented by eight Chinese phonetic letters (C, D, F, G, J-1, J-2, L, X, Z) as the visa code.
 
 
The Chinese visa issuing authorities refer to the Chinese embassies, the general consulates and other organizations authorized by The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China stationed abroad. If a foreigner wants to enter or transit through China, he should go to the above-mentioned Chinese visa issuing authorities to apply for the required visa. An alternative is he can also find a China tour company for help to avoid the handing procedures.

The official responsibility of the visa issuing organizations is to issue the visa; simultaneously they have the authority to cancel or refuse a visa issue, or announce the invalidity of all visas issued.

     除有明确规定免签者外,外国公民来华原则上应事先向中国驻外使领馆、办事处、驻香港、澳门特派员公署或外交部授权的其他驻外机构(请点击这里,了解有关签证机构的网站或联系方式等详细情况)申办签证。

     中国驻外使、领馆均有领区划分,申请人原则上应向居住地所属大使馆或领事馆申请签证。除个别国家公民须向中国驻该国使领馆申请外,申请人一般亦可向就近的中国使领馆申请签证。

      外国人持普通签证入境后,如需申请延长或变更签证,应向公安部授权的县级以上地方公安机关申请。
