Chinese Transit Visa

Chinese Transit (G) Visa

 

The main difference between a Chinese transit visa and a Chinese tourist visa is the validity of the visa.

 

A Chinese transit visa is valid for 7 days. To apply you would send your passport, a passport photo, visa application and a copy of your itinerary indicating the dates of transit through China.

 

A Chinese tourist visa is typically issued for 6 months validity with a stay of 30 days. The requirements are the same as the Chinese Transit visa except in addition you would need to submit a copy of your Hotel Reservation.

 

The fee is the same for both the Chinese Transit visa and the Chinese Tourist Visa.

 

We highly recommend you apply for a Tourist visa for the flexibility is provides.
