Does the Visa Center belong to the Chinese Embassy/Consulate General?
No, it doesn’t. The Visa Center is a commercial service organization registered in accordance with local laws and regulations and recognized by a Chinese Embassy or Consulate-General to handle the daily routine work of processing ordinary visa applications. However, it operates independently of diplomatic missions and is neither a branch nor an affiliated organ. Please note that the Visa Centre does not participate in the assessment and approval of the visa for China (Mainland only).
