If you are applying for a Chinese visa, you may need to book an online appointment with the Chinese embassy or consulate in your country. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to book an online appointment for a Chinese visa
Online Appointment Booking: Check the official website of the Chinese Embassy in your country to understand the process of online appointment booking. Each embassy may have a different system, so it’s crucial to follow the instructions provided.
If you’re finding the process of booking an online appointment with the Chinese Embassy challenging, there are services like DOCSSA that can assist with the process. Here’s how it could work:
Passport: Original passport that is valid for at least six months from the date of application, with at least one blank visa page.

Photo: One recent passport-sized color photo.
Color and Background: Your passport photos must be in color, with a plain white or off-white background.

Eyes and Shadows: Ensure your eyes are open and clearly visible. There should be no shadows on your face or the background.
Eyewear and Head Coverings: Remove any glasses, hats, or other head coverings, unless they’re required for religious or medical reasons and you can provide appropriate verification.
Recency: Your photos should be recent, taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance.
