关于外国人来华签证申请表优化事

为进一步便利外国人申请来华签证，经征求有关部门意见，外交部对外国人来华签证申请表进行了优化。

此次优化共涉及7个大项，15个子项，主要涉及申请人教育背景、家庭信息、旅行经历等，减少了文字性填报内容，比如，申请人国际旅行经历从五年缩短为一年，教育背景调整为只填报最高学历等。申请人填表时间将大幅缩短，办理来华签证将更加便捷。

新版签证申请表将于2023年9月20日上线。外交部将持续推进中外人员往来便利化，服务国内高质量发展和高水平对外开放。

Chinese Visa Application Forms Optimized

In order to further facilitate visa application for foreigners, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has optimized visa application forms for foreigners traveling to China after consulting with relevant departments.

The optimization involves 7 major items and 15 sub-items, which are mainly related to the applicant's educational background, family members’ information, past travel experience, etc. Textual content of the application forms will be considerably reduced. For example, the  coverage of “past travel experience” is cut from five years to one year and “educational background” only entails the applicant’s highest degree. Applicants will spend much less time filling in the forms and expect a more streamlined visa application process.

The new version of the visa application forms will be launched on September 20, 2023. The MFA will, as always, facilitate people-to-people exchanges between China and foreign countries to promote China’s high-quality development and opening-up endeavor.
