1 – Your passport must be in good condition – free from any fraying, tears, loose bindings, or any other alterations.
2 – For a single entry visa, a minimum of 6 months validity beyond the travel date is required, while multiple entry visas necessitate a validity of at least 12 months. If you require passport services, we invite you to visit our dedicated section for passport services. (If your U.S. Passport is valid for at least one more year, you can get a 10-year China visa. If it’s valid for less than a year, you’ll get a six-month visa instead.)
3 – If you possess a valid China visa in another passport, it is necessary to submit both the new passport and the passport containing the existing visa when applying for a new visa. Additionally, a photocopy of the visa and the passport must be provided.
4 – Make sure your passport has at least two empty visa pages facing each other. These pages must be free from any stamps or amendment endorsements. If your passport does not have any blank visa pages remaining, it is necessary to renew your passport before applying for a visa. Should you require passport services, kindly visit our passport services section.
5 – For non-US passport holders, it is mandatory to provide a notarized photocopy of proof of legal stay or residence status in the US, such as a Green Card or a valid long-term US residence visa.
Follow these steps to ensure your photo is accepted.
Step 1: Recent Photo – Ensure your photo was taken within the last six months.
Step 2: Background – All white, no shadows or lights.
Step 3: Position – Frontal view of your head, face centered, top of shoulders visible.
Step 4: Expression – Maintain a neutral expression with open eyes, closed mouth, and visible ears.
Step 5: Attire – No eyeglasses, jewelry, or headwear (unless for religious reasons). Avoid wearing a white shirt.
For Physical Photos:

Should you require assistance with obtaining a Chinese visa photo, we recommend visiting this website or this site.
A photocopy of the driver’s license or major utility bill with your name and address is required.
Two quick things to remember – the name on your document should match the one on your passport perfectly, and the address should be the same one you’ve provided on your visa application.
Also, make sure it’s a gas, electric, or water bill, as phone and cable bills won’t make the cut.
