Canada's adventurous spirits will find endless opportunities for exploration in China.

Securing a China Tourist Visa is the first step towards experiencing this enchanting country's rich heritage and diverse attractions.

Understanding the China Tourist Visa requirements for Canadians

Canadian citizens require a China Tourist Visa to enter the country and enjoy tourist attractions. There are options for single-, double, and multiple-entry visas.

The visa application process involves an appointment, and applicants must provide a range of documentation to support their application.

Additionally, visiting certain regions like Hong Kong and Tibet requires separate visas.

Here's a quick overview of what to expect:

  • Step 1: Visit our the government website and click on 'Consular Services'.

  • Step 2: Follow the steps, fill out the China Visa application form, and schedule an appointment for your document dropoff, interview (if applicable), and providing biometrics.

  • Step 3: Attend your visa appointment at the nearest Chinese Embassy or Consulate. Present your documents and pay the government visa fee.

After that, wait for a visa notification and prepare for your Chinese adventure!

"Consider booking your flights and accommodations with free cancellation options. This provides flexibility in case of unexpected visa delays." - Jim Frome, iVisa Travel Expert

Key requirements for China Tourist Visa applications in Canada

Canadian passport holders need to be aware of several important requirements when applying for a China Tourist Visa:

  • Valid passport: Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your planned stay in China and have at least two blank visa pages.
  • Completed visa application form: We assist in filling out the form accurately to avoid any delays.
  • Recent passport-sized photo: Must meet specific dimensions and background requirements.
  • Proof of round-trip airline tickets: Confirmed bookings are necessary.
  • Hotel reservations: Evidence of accommodation for your entire stay in China.
  • Invitation letter: If visiting friends or family, you'll need an invitation letter from your host.

Understanding China visa types and entry options

China offers various visa types for Canadian travelers. The L Visa is the standard tourist visa, but there are different entry options to consider:

Visa Type Entries Allowed Validity Maximum Stay
Single-entry 1 3 months 30 days
Double-entry 2 6 months 30 days per entry
Multiple-entry Unlimited 10 years 60 days per entry

We recommend the multiple-entry visa for frequent travelers or those planning to explore neighboring countries during their trip.
