Chinese Visas for South Africans
Our Chinese Visas service provides professional, end-to-end assistance for South African travellers, workers, families and students who must obtain a China visa through the Chinese Visa Application Service Centre (CVASC) in Johannesburg, Durban or Cape Town. The CVASC is the official Chinese visa processing centre handling all visa categories for ordinary passport holders applying for travel to the People’s Republic of China.
Chinese Visa Categories We Process
We assist with all primary Chinese visa types available to South Africans at the Visa Application Centre:
• Z Visa (Work Visa) — for individuals relocating to China for employment or long-term work assignments and requiring a legal work permit and work visa.
• S Visa (Family Visa) — for spouses, parents, children or close family members joining foreign nationals or residents in China for personal matters or family visits.
• M Visa (Business Visa) — for commercial and trade activities, meetings, negotiations, exhibitions or business missions in China.
• L Visa (Tourist Visa) — for leisure travel, sightseeing and tourism in China.
• X Visa (Study Visa) — for short-term or long-term study programmes at educational institutions in China.
Official Chinese Visa Application Requirements
All applicants must complete the official online visa application form and prepare supporting documentation before visiting the Chinese Visa Application Service Centre. The CVASC only processes applications for ordinary passports and does not handle diplomatic or official passport visas (those are directly with the Chinese Embassy or Consulates).
Visa Application Centres in South Africa
The main centre in Johannesburg (Sandton) processes the majority of applications and offers longer submission hours and priority services. Satellite offices in Durban (Umhlanga) and Cape Town (Canal Walk) also accept applications but generally have shorter service hours, and applicants can choose the Johannesburg centre for faster turnaround.
