Documents and tips for Chinese travellers

Chinese passports generally need at least six months of validity and blank pages; verify both, as these are common refusal triggers. Fees are charged in US dollars; Chinese applicants should use a card enabled for international payments, as domestic-only cards may be declined. The most common avoidable mistake for Chinese citizens: using a payment method that is not enabled for international transactions, which interrupts the application midway.

  • Enter your name in Latin letters exactly as printed in your Chinese passport.
  • Ensure your payment card works for international USD transactions before you start.
  • Have your itinerary and accommodation details ready, as additional evidence is more commonly requested.
