New Delhi. A relief news has emerged for Indian travelers planning to travel to China. The Chinese government is going to take a big step towards making the visa process easier for Indian citizens. Now there is hope to get rid of the lengthy procedures and complexity of documents for visa application to some extent. The new system will not only save time, but will also provide a more transparent and convenient experience to the passengers.
Online visa system will start from December 22
The Chinese Embassy in India is going to start online visa application system from December 22. Sharing information in this regard, Chinese Ambassador to India Xu Feihong said that Indian citizens will now be able to fill the online form for visa. Along with this, important documents can also be uploaded through digital medium. With this, the initial process of visa application will become completely online, which is considered to be much simpler than before.
Passengers will get great convenience
After the implementation of the online system, visa applicants will have less need to visit the embassy or visa center again and again. This change can prove to be very beneficial especially for business travelers, students and tourists. It is believed that the digital process will speed up visa approval and the number of pending applications will also reduce. Along with this, China hopes that with this decision the number of tourists coming from India will also increase.
India advised citizens to be cautious
However, amid relief in the visa process, the Indian government has also advised its citizens to be cautious about traveling to China. According to media reports, this advisory has been issued after the incident of alleged misbehavior with a woman from Arunachal Pradesh at Shanghai Airport. The government has said that Indian citizens should be careful and follow local rules while traveling to or transiting from China. Overall, the online visa application system will definitely make traveling to China technically easier, but travelers will have to give equal priority to safety and caution.
