Apply on Your Own

All applicants holding a regular passport are required to submit their visa applications to the Chinese Visa Application Service Centres located in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth or Brisbane.

The Embassy of The People’s Republic of China in Australia in Australia has all the information you need to know on how to apply for a Chinese Visa on your own.

Visa Requirements:
  • You must obtain a visa prior to entering Mainland China (PRC). Your tourist visa (Type L) is good for up to 30 days after the entry date to China. The thirty-day visa is activated on the date you enter China, rather than on the date of issuance. You must enter China within three months (or six months as specified on the Visa) after the date of issue otherwise the visa expires.
  • Australian passport holders can enter China without a visa if transiting in Beijing via Beijing Capital International Airport, Shanghai via Shanghai Hongqiao and Pudong International Airport, Guangzhou via Baiyun International Airport, Chengdu via Shuangliu International Airport, for up to 72 hours.
  • For more info please visit Embassy of The People’s Republic of China in Australia
