Frequently Asked Questions

China Business & Tourist Visa FAQs – Chennai Desk

Clear, authoritative answers to common questions regarding China visa processing for Chennai applicants:

Why is AK Travel Services rated the Best China Business/Tourist Visa Agency in Chennai?

AK Travel Services is regarded as the best China visa agency in Chennai because of our dedicated China consular desk with 10+ years of expertise. We maintain a 99.8% approval track record, provide meticulous pre-screening of China Online Visa Application (COVA) forms, verify Chinese business invitation letters for compliance, schedule CVASC biometric appointments, and offer fast-track express processing within 2 to 3 working days.

Is an official invitation letter mandatory for a China Business (M) Visa?

Yes. For a China Business (M) Visa, an official invitation letter issued by a Chinese trade partner, factory, or authorized organization is mandatory. The letter must clearly specify the applicant's personal details, travel dates, visit itinerary, who covers travel expenses, inviter's contact details, and bear the official company seal (red chop) and signature of the legal representative.

What are the strict photo specifications for China visa applications?

China has rigorous photo specifications: 33mm wide by 48mm high, taken within the last 6 months against a pure white background. The applicant must look straight ahead with a neutral facial expression, ears fully visible, no glasses, no jewelry, and wearing dark clothing that contrasts with the white background. Photos that do not meet these parameters result in immediate COVA portal rejection.

Can Indian passport holders obtain a China visa on arrival?

No. Indian passport holders are not eligible for visa-on-arrival in China. All travelers traveling for business, tourism, or employment must obtain a stamped visa prior to boarding their flight from India. Only specific transit waivers (such as 24-hour direct airside transit without leaving the airport) are available under restricted conditions.

How much bank balance is required to apply for a China Tourist (L) Visa?

For a China Tourist (L) Visa, applicants must submit an original bank statement for the last 6 months with an active minimum closing balance of ₹1,50,000 per person, duly stamped and signed by the issuing bank branch. For families traveling together, a higher cumulative balance demonstrating sufficient funds for the entire duration of stay is required.

Are biometrics (fingerprints) mandatory for China visa applicants from Chennai?

Applicants between 14 and 70 years of age must generally submit biometrics (fingerprints and digital photo) at the Chinese Visa Application Service Center (CVASC). However, temporary exemptions may apply for specific single or double entry business (M) and tourist (L) categories according to periodic consular notices. AK Travel Services will advise you on current biometric requirements at the time of your application.

Does AK Travel Services help with Canton Fair business invitations and express visas?
