Enquiry for applying tourist visas

You can still apply for a China visa, but you need to fill that you have never been China for Section 4.1 of China Visa Application Form. "Applicants, who have been granted Chinese visa before, should provide copies of recent Chinese visa with entry record. In case they are not on the current passport, copies of the previous passport with the above data are required." You can't provide the previous China tourist visa on your old passport, so you will regarded as an applicant who have never been to China, "Applicants, who have not been to mainland China, should provide copies of other ID, e.g. previous passport, driver license, etc. Applicants under 16 can be exempted."
