hello, i have indefinite leave to remain in the UK and i want to apply for a tourist visa to china

You need to prepare the following documents:
1. The filled-out application form and a passport-style color photo
2. Your passport and copy of its data page
3. Your indefinite leave in UK
4. Round trip air tickets and accommodation booking record
After, submit your application to the CVASC to apply for a tourist L type. The fees for single entry and multiple entries are the same. So if possible, you can try to apply for one with multiple entries.
