China to officially launch online visa application system in India today

NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: The Chinese Embassy in India will officially launch the China Online Visa Application System, a move aimed at simplifying and streamlining the visa application process for Indian travellers, from Monday.

The announcement was shared by the Chinese Ambassador to India earlier in a post confirming that, from December 22, 2025, applicants can complete visa application forms and upload required documents online. The new system allows users to access the service through the official website, visaforchina.cn/DEL3_EN/qianzh, offering greater convenience and efficiency.

With the launch of the online platform, applicants are expected to save time during the initial stages of visa processing, as much of the documentation can now be submitted digitally.

The Chinese Visa Application Service Centre in New Delhi will continue to assist applicants alongside the online system. The centre operates from Monday to Friday, between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. It is located on the Concourse Floor of Shivaji Stadium Metro Station, Baba Kharak Singh Marg, Connaught Place, New Delhi. Applicants can also reach the centre by phone at +91-9999036735. The information was shared by the envoy on his post on X, too.

According to an important notice issued by the Chinese Visa Application Service Centre in New Delhi, applicants must now visit the official website of the centre to create or sign in to their accounts. After logging in, applicants are required to fill out the visa application form online and upload all necessary supporting documents through the portal.

The notice clearly states that applicants should carefully follow the step-by-step instructions provided on the website. Crucially, before submitting their physical passport and other required documents at the Visa Application Centre, applicants must ensure their application status shows "online review completed" and that they have received a confirmation email.
