COVA China Itinerary: Cities, Dates and Accommodation
COVA itinerary entries should form a plausible sequence from arrival through departure. Estimated plans may change, but the submitted dates and addresses should not contradict each other.
Three points to handle correctly
- List the principal cities in travel order
- Use accommodation details that cover the stated stay
- Make arrival, departure and requested stay length consistent
Why applicants often get this wrong
The common problem is not always one missing form. It is often a mismatch among the COVA answers, passport details, invitation, itinerary or supporting evidence. Reviewers may also request a clarification or original document for the individual case.
Pre-submission checklist
- Names, passport numbers and dates agree across every document.
- Uploads are complete and readable, with originals retained for possible verification.
- Current jurisdiction and case-specific requirements have been checked again.
