REQUIREMENTS
New China Rules:
  • All applicants between the ages of 14 to 69 (inclusive) must attend the China visa centre to have their finger print scanned as part of the visa process. Regent Visas will help you with this as part of our service which includes lodging and collecting your Chinese visa application. Regent Visas is an officially registered Agent with the Embassy, and by using our services you will bypass the queues.
  • However, if the applicant is applying for a Single or Double entry visa for one of the four categories below, then you do not need a fingerprint scan, and therefore do not need to attend the appointment.
