Health Declaration No Longer Needed For Chinese Visa

• We currently can’t confirm if it also applies to applications in other countries, but after the National Holidays there should be further updates announced.


• This makes sense given the fact that you still need to be tested within such a short time before flying out. It cuts out a step in the visa application and will make it easier for the consulate to issue the visa.

• Please contact the Chinese embassy in your departure country, as it may differ, depending on the country you are in.
