visa applications for family traveling together

Question

Hi there, Couple of questions please for a family of four planning to travel together to China: We are holders of Canadian passports and would be planning to visit China for two months. The father would be traveling on an academic sabbatical (visiting a professor colleague at ShanghaiTech) and the mother plus two children as accompanying family members.1. Would the major purpose of visit be Business & trade for the father and Tourism for the rest of the family?2. We would need to complete four applications I presume? However it would only be necessary for one of us to come to the Embassy in Bern in person to submit the applications and pick-up the passports post-decision?Many thanks for your advice!Kind regards,

Shea · Answer

1. Yes. 2. Yes, you need to complete four applications, and one of you can come to the Embassy in Bern in person to submit the applications and pick-up the passports.
