China Family Visit Visa Assistance from India
Prepare relationship, invitation and host documents for a genuine family or private visit, with guidance based on who you are visiting and their status in China.
Build a Consistent, Purpose-Specific Visa File
Family-visit categories can differ depending on whether the host is a Chinese citizen, permanent resident, foreign national working or studying in China, and on the applicant’s relationship to that host. The invitation, host documents and relationship evidence must support the same circumstances.
Requirements and procedures can change. Current instructions from the Chinese embassy, consulate or authorised visa centre take priority over general website guidance.
Start with the right information
- Purpose and intended dates

Birth, marriage or other civil records may be relevant. The exact evidence and any translation or legalisation requirements depend on the case.
