Fingerprint Submission: Once your application is received, we will email you to arrange an appointment. We handle all immediate application processing, including scheduling for application submission and fingerprint collection. You are required to appear in person at the Chinese visa office for the appointment. We will assist you on-site.

Applicants aged 14 to 69 must appear in person at the Chinese visa office to provide fingerprints. Applicants from any federal state can submit fingerprints in London. We review your visa applications immediately upon receipt and finalize them in consultation with you, coordinating the fingerprint submission appointment. These fingerprints will be valid for all future visa applications made within the next five years using the same passport.

According to the current regulations of the Chinese government, until December 31, 2024, fingerprint submission is no longer required for the following visa categories for single or double entry: business visas (M), tourist and visitor visas (L), family visas (Q2), crew visas (C), and transit visas (G).

The Chinese visa office in London is now open weekdays, Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays observed in both the UK and China. At present, the fastest processing time ranges from 2 to 4 embassy working days.
