What are the documents required to apply for a visa to China?

The application process includes filling out the online COVA form, printing the confirmation page, and scheduling an appointment at the official China Visa Application Center in Tel Aviv. The applicant must present an original passport valid for at least six months with two blank pages, a photocopy of the personal information page, a passport photo according to Chinese standards, flight tickets, and hotel documents. For a business visa, an official invitation letter (PU Letter or company letter) from an approved business entity in China must be attached.

How is the file delivered to the visa center by courier?

Instead of standing in line and waiting at the visa center, the file can be delivered by an authorized representative. The embassy courier service delivers the passport, printed forms, and invitation letters directly to the officials at the service center. In cases of urgent business trips to factories or exhibitions, urgent personal delivery ensures that the file is delivered to the counter at the earliest possible time to promote quick issuance.

How do you get your passport back after the issuance is complete?

After the Chinese consulate has approved the application and stamped the visa, the passport is ready for collection. A fast personal delivery service collects the envelope directly from the service center and delivers it to the traveler's office or home against verification of an ID card and signature. This ensures complete certainty regarding the location of the passport in preparation for the flight.

When is international document delivery required for activities with China?

Importers, trading companies and students are sometimes required to provide signed original documents from companies in Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou, including corporate certificates and distribution agreements. Using an overseas courier service allows the paperwork to be collected in China and brought to Israel within a few days. Fast courier service abroad allows you to receive the original invitation letter on time and open the visa file without delay.
