The demand for Chinese visas has grown rapidly in recent years in Australia. To provide a better service for visa applicants, the General Consulates of China in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, following the success of the visa centers of other countries, decide to introduce the Chinese Visa Application Service Center (CVASC). CVASC is responsible for accepting Chinese visa application of Australian ordinary passport holder and non-Australian passport holder with valid Australian visa or entry stamp, collecting visa fees on behalf of the General Consulates and returning passports.

While providing you with high quality services, CVASC kindly reminds you of the following: 

(1) Holders of diplomatic, service (official) passport, or applicants qualified for applying for Chinese diplomatic, courtesy and service visa, or applicants applying for the Hong Kong visa/entry permit still submit their applications directly to the Chinese Consulate General without changes.

(2) CVASC has no involvement in the visa assessment and decision-making process. Whether a visa is to be issued or not to be issued, and what type of visa to be issued as well as its period of validity, number of entry and duration of stay shall be decided by the General Consulates of China in the light of China's relevant laws and regulations.
