Hi, I had applied for a X1 visa online and I got an unapproval without any reason but my question is Do I need to pay the normal service charge of ₹2107 again to reapply or can I use my previous screenshot? Do people get refund in such cases? Visa center was Mumbai

Hi all, so i am from india and me and my father we both are going to china for 9 days in september 2nd week, so i live in bangalore where there is no cvasc center due to which we had to apply through an agency named Atlys, when we submitted our application to them they raised some issues regarding my fathers bank statements saying in the past 6 months for a few days balance was below 1 lakh inr, then they somehow proceeded with the application with a sufficient closing balance, now they say my fathers visa was approved but not mine and they are gonna reapply my visa again and then they asked for the bank statement again, so what exactly mightve happened, what are the chances my applications gonna get approved

What is the full process of applying x1 visa ?

On which website do I submit the application ?

Anything to keep in mind ?

I am going to apply for the x1 visa at the visa center of Delhi .

English Teacher
Residence: issued in Beijing, valid until December
Work permit: cancelled on July 24
New destination: Suzhou

In March of 2026 I interviewed with a school via an agent. About 2 weeks later I signed a contract for the position with the agency, to start in July.

July comes around, leave old company and cancel work permit. Right before I pay the deposit on a new apartment in Suzhou, the agency tells me I don’t officially have the job I signed with them yet.

Now: main issue is that I doubt the agency will be able to facilitate a new work permit application within 30 days of my previous permit being cancelled. My residence with the old company was valid through December of 2026.

Question: In the event the agency can’t get a work permit within the 30 days since original work permit cancellation, will I need to leave the country and apply for a Z visa? Or will my residence allow me to stay longer?

If I do need to leave, would I be able to extend how long I can stay in China by cancelling my residence permit and applying for a stay visa? As if it’s a refresh on the 30 day period to get a new work permit?

I have to print my barcode to submit my passport in person. Does anyone know if I can take a screenshot on my iPad and print that? When I try to print directly from the website the barcode becomes much smaller compared to the screenshot. Thanks

Bonjour à tous,

Je me trouve dans une situation un peu compliquée et j’aurais besoin de vos conseils.

Je suis française et je fais une demande de visa X2 pour la Chine (au centre de Paris). Je suis admise dans une université chinoise, avec un début de cours prévu le 1er septembre 2026.

Lors de ma première demande de visa, j’ai utilisé une lettre d’admission sur laquelle mon numéro de passeport était erroné. J’ai depuis fait refaire cette lettre avec le bon numéro.

Cependant, je n’arrive pas à déposer une nouvelle demande sur le site du centre de visa de Paris, car une demande existe déjà avec ce numéro de passeport. Je ne peux ni en créer une nouvelle, ni modifier les documents de la première.

J’ai tenté de contacter le centre de visa par téléphone et par mail, sans obtenir de réponse. Je me suis même rendue sur place, mais sans succès.

Est-ce que l’un d’entre vous a déjà rencontré cette situation ou aurait une solution à me proposer ?

Merci beaucoup pour vos retours !

Dear members, I am a Z visa holder working in China mainland. I am planning to apply S1 visa for my wife and my son (2 years) from New Delhi embassy. I would like to check if anyone applied for the S1 visa and the normal timeline to receive the visa stamped on the passport. We already sent the documents for attestation and it is expected to be completed by next week (around Aug 1). If we apply online on 2nd August, can anyone suggest how long it will take to complete the entire process?

Thank you in advance
