China Visa Passport Validity and Blank-Page Rules
The current basic list calls for more than six months of passport validity and at least two blank visa pages.
Official baseline: This guide follows current Chinese
government or U.S. consular sources; case-specific evidence may still be
requested.
Key requirements
- Check validity from the intended application and travel period
- Upload the bio page and a blank visa page
- Renew first if the passport cannot meet the published baseline
Pre-submission check
- Names and dates agree across passport, COVA and supporting documents.
- Uploads are complete and readable, with originals available if requested.
- Another person's outcome or the requested category is not an approval guarantee.
