The China tourist (L) visa requires an in-person application at the Chinese Consulate or Visa Application Service Centre. We ensure every document is correct and complete before your appointment.
About the Visa
Indian nationals require an L (tourist) visa to visit China for tourism or family visits.
Ideal for straightforward trips to Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, or other destinations. Allows 30 days per stay. Double entry suits travellers who plan a brief visit to Hong Kong or Macau in between.
Valid for multiple visits within the visa validity period (typically 6 months to 1 year). Each stay limited to 30 or 60 days. Requires a stronger financial profile and travel history.
Key point: China requires biometric enrolment and an in-person visit to the Visa Application Service Centre (CVASC). We prepare every document perfectly so your appointment goes smoothly.
