Getting a visa for China

Hi,

I’m planning to travel to China very soon, and I read in this article that getting a visa is really complicated. Can anyone confirm? Thanks so much. Nicolas

Hi there,

You can stay in China for 30 days without a visa with a French passport—this is new! 😉

Hi there, We applied for a 3-month visa without any issues. We submitted it in Paris on January 2nd and received our passports with the visas back via Chronopost a week later. The visa application is long to fill out, but if you pay attention, it’s not too difficult. You need to add a sheet with the exact itinerary. Didier

Hi, Yes, for 3 months, it's mandatory, but it's pretty quick these days. For those planning to stay 30 days, a visa is no longer required with a French passport.
