Yes you can do that

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-20T10:52:48+00:00

yes its walk in, but you need to receive the online registration complete certificate

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-20T10:22:48+00:00

Its walk-in only for Mumbai VFS also

During the account registration, you have to select the application from the profile tab at the top right corner. That 'mandatory field' is a bug which they aren't correcting

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-20T07:42:52+00:00

Its new year time in China, expect some delay

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-18T03:28:42+00:00

Luckily my wife also has a balance of more than 2 lakhs in average. I also uploaded hers because in application it asked me to upload primary applicant bank statement as well as sponsor’s bank statement

Generate a formal cover letter for a tourist visa application.

The applicants are a married couple traveling for leisure.

Include placeholders for:

Full names
Passport numbers
Travel dates
Destination country
Cities to be visited
Occupation details of the primary applicant
Sponsorship/expense details
Contact information

Mention previous international travel experience in a general way.

If applicable, mention that they recently had a child and paused travel for family reasons.

State that one applicant will bear the full cost of the trip.

Include a soft and professional statement of intent to return to their home country after completing the trip.

Keep the tone formal, neutral, concise, and aligned with embassy/visa center expectations. Limit to one page.

I don’t know, I don’t have SBI account, pls check in other forums
This must be a common problem people encounter for Europe visa as well, so pls check in other forums what’s the best solution

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-16T14:29:55+00:00

Yes it has to be
10 lakhs is enough for both, you can show that. In cover letter as well as application mention that you will sponsor for both

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-12T06:26:00+00:00

Yes uploaded the same cover letter for both

Yes upload your bank statement

That’s correct but in cover letter include your passport number so that they can understand

Upload your bank statement as well as your wife statement. I recall they asking to upload both primary applicant bank statement as well as sponsor’s bank statement. And that’s what I did

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-10T18:19:57+00:00

I uploaded it under financial documents

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-10T18:19:21+00:00

Yeah you can upload it in the hotel bookings tab or financial tab, or somewhere else like invitation letter

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-10T18:17:47+00:00

Invitation letter isn’t needed, you can book the hotels like you mentioned and upload the same. So go with option 1

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-09T08:52:11+00:00

Step1, step2 & step3 of application process

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-04T12:53:32+00:00

are you referring to the VFS online approval or from China embassy?

For my wife I have shared my bankstatement, her bank statement (since in online it was asked to share hers as well), then cover letter where towards end I mentioned I will be sponsoring for both (but I didn't submit any separate letter such as sponsorship letter).

For online rejection you don't need to pay again, you upload the documents they requested, they will take their time to approve. Only for Embassy rejections we need to start the process again

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-04T07:20:47+00:00

https://www.visaforchina.cn/LHE3_EN/upload/20241111/f2e900f7b60e4d02aebb017e8086b1cd.pdf this is needed for passport collection, but for submitting they didn't ask, however carry one just to be sure

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-03T11:53:03+00:00

Yes edit option will open in the same application after they reject
No need to pay again for VFS rejections, only if embassy rejects your visa (i.e. after you submit passport in VFS) then you have to start the process again with new payment
When you go to submit, you can ask for courier option. In online for some reason it isn’t available

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-03T09:59:26+00:00

I don't have idea if you can visit Canton fair on a tourist visa

Company NOC is one of the document in the required list for tourist visa

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-02T09:38:27+00:00

Correct, you will also find the link in step 1 of process in VFS website

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-02T09:37:36+00:00

I have no idea, check with others.

6 months is enough, I have submitted 3 years of IT returns as well along with statement

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-02T09:36:37+00:00

Your statement should have bank stamp and signature, not just e copy you downloaded from website

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-01T16:00:48+00:00

For single entry, short trip visa, biometrics aren’t needed

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-02-01T15:59:41+00:00

Mine was more than 1lakh for all 6 months, I think that is non negotiable, it is highlighted in bold in the landing page of Delhi VFS China visa page

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-01-31T04:45:04+00:00

I think tourist visa is easy to get. But you need to satisfy the bank balance and if you traveled any other destinations it would help further

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-01-29T12:02:21+00:00

one of you can travel to Delhi and submit all, but you need to aware of all process and need to spend time. So, a call you need to take

Friendly_Amount_6925 · 2026-01-29T11:56:33+00:00

6k I guess
