COVA Travel History and the 60-Month Record Form
Travel history must be truthful and consistent; a consular office may request the separate past-60-month travel-record form.
Official baseline: Built from the Chinese Embassy in
the U.S. September 2025 requirements and COVA guidance; case-specific
evidence may be requested.
Documents and planning points
- Start from passport stamps, prior visas and travel confirmations
- Use exact countries, dates, duration and purpose where available
- Do not omit China travel or prior Chinese visa history
- If exact dates are unavailable, explain truthfully rather than inventing them
Common mistakes
- Copying another applicant's category, timing or document outcome.
- Allowing COVA to conflict with inviter, employer or supporting records.
- Treating a requested category or assistance service as an approval guarantee.
