- Visa application signed in ORIGINAL on page 1 and page 8 (item 9.1a). Signature MUST match the signature in the passport!

All persons traveling to China are required to take a Nucleic Acid Test (PCR) OR Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) for COVID-19 within 48 hours prior to boarding/departure. The negative test result must be entered on the Health Declaration Form. The airline is no longer obliged to check the negative test results. These are randomly checked upon entry. If irregularities occur or symptoms appear upon entry, a test will be carried out by Chinese customs.
We would be happy to support you/your employees in organizing your next China visa.
Best regards
Yours OEVKG
