China Launches Online Visa Application in Dubai
Key Points
- China will officially transition to a fully online visa application system in Dubai starting 14 July 2025, streamlining the process for travelers and residents alike
Chinese Visa Application Service
China is introducing a digital overhaul to its visa application process via the Dubai Chinese Visa Application Service Center. As of 14 July 2025, applicants can fill out forms and submit documents online, eliminating the need for in-person submissions. Those who used the previous system must submit their documents by July 10, as the center will not accept new applications on July 11, only passport pickups.
The center also recommends applying one month before travel and not purchasing tickets until the visa is approved.
