Chinese Visa: 3-Year Compensation Visa - Do I Qualify?

If you hold an expired 10-year Chinese visa that was suspended for use from March 28, 2020 thru March 14, 2023 due to COVID-19, you may be eligible for a 3-year Compensation Visa.

To qualify, ALL criteria below must be met:

Your visa was issued before March 28, 2020
The passport with visa is still in your possession
Your visa must be expired
Your visa must not have been previously cancelled by Chinese authority
You are applying for the same visa type

If eligible, you have 2 options:

Opt-in to receive a 3-year Compensation Visa for gratis/free (consular expedite fees apply)
Waive compensation and continue your request for a new 10-year visa

If you opt-in for a Compensation Visa, the consular fee will be refunded (minus any expedite fees) once your order is complete.
