Question

Can we apply now for a visa and have it dated January 2013?

Joe · Answer

Hi Jim, a single entry China visa is valid for 3 months only from issue date. The best time to apply for it is one month prior to your departure date. If visiting in Janaury, you'd better apply in late November or December.
