pay attention
The multi-year multiple-entry visas issued before March 2020, 3, which are still valid, are still suspended.Visas for tourism and medical treatment in China are temporarily not accepted.
Recently, I have received many contributions from netizens. Because there are many people handling on-site business at the gate of the Chinese Consulate, there has been an unprecedented "hustle and bustle".I really want to thank all the bloggers of Xiaohongshu for sharing so much first-hand.

The queue can go around the consulate several times, open any app, and you can see the complaints of "humble people in the queue".
There is a line at 4:XNUMX in the morning
Many on-site friends shared, because no online appointments are open.Many people have to go out very early to "grab seats",It is said that people who arrive at 6 or 7 in the morning are basically out of line.
