FAQ

What people ask before applying for a China visa.

Will this work for the COVA online portal?

+
Yes. COVA accepts a 33×48 mm JPG at 600 DPI on a plain white background. We deliver exactly that pixel size (780×1134) under 240 KB so it uploads cleanly.

Does it work for tourist (L), business (M) and family (Q) visas?

+
Yes. CVASC and the Chinese embassy use the same 33×48 mm white-background spec for L, M, X1/X2 (student), Q (family), Z (work) and S (private affairs) visas.

Glasses, head covering?

+
No glasses (clear or tinted). Religious head coverings are accepted only if the face from chin to forehead is fully visible and not shadowed.

What if CVASC rejects the photo?

+
Full refund of US$4.99 via PayPal within 24 hours. Just send the rejection slip or screenshot.

Does the same photo work for a Chinese passport renewal?

+
Chinese passport renewal uses the same 33×48 mm white-background spec. The same photo works for both visa and passport applications at the embassy.
