To further facilitate foreign nationals’ travel to China, the Chinese Embassy in Brunei Darussalam will provide walk-in visa application services without online appointment beforehand starting from November 20, 2023.

In order to optimise the Chinese visa application procedure, the Embassy advise all applicants to read the following:

1.Please complete your China Online Visa Application Form(COVA) through the China Online Visa Application website (cova.mfa.gov.cn). All applicants are required to complete the online application form at least one working day prior to visiting the Consular Section for visa application processing.

Please click Requirements and Procedures for Chinese Visa Application for the latest information on visa application.

2.Appointments already made for November 20 and a later date will remain valid. Applicants who have already completed online appointments will be given priority for submitting their documents within the corresponding time slot at the appointment date by presenting the AVAS confirmation page upon arrival.

3.Visa applicants can go to the Consular Section of the Embassy to submit the visa application documents between 9:00-11:30 am on working days. Inquiries on visas are preferably sent via email or telephone in the afternoon.

4.Please note that submitting your visa application too early may result in the visa expiring earlier than desired. It is therefore recommended that applicants submit visa applications around one month before their intended entry into China.
