China Prepares the Ground for an Electronic Visa
China is laying the groundwork for an electronic visa, which would move applications away from consular submission.
China has required visa applicants to submit through consulates and visa centres rather than online.
Authorities are preparing the ground for an electronic visa, which would move part of that process onto a digital platform.
Given the volume China processes, an electronic visa would be among the largest such systems anywhere. EntryCheck records China's current arrangements and will hold the official portal once published.
