About:China Visa Application Requirements
do I have to have had the passport for 6 months in order to apply for a Visa?
My son is going on a school trip to China in May. My sons passport expired 5 years ago and so we are going to apply for a new passport tonight. We then were going to apply but I noticed that they have to have had the passport for at least 6 months? Is that correct?
