Update on India Visa and China Visa Processing Issues

As a leading India visa and China visa service, we aim to keep all our clients updated on the workings of the embassies and with regards to obtaining your respective visas.

India Visas Issuance

Currently there are some teething problems between for obtaining your India visa. The VFS centre and the Indian high commission are still solidifying their process, and to obtain an India visa through the general public route may take up to 3 – 4 working days. Applying for you India visa over post could take up to 15 working days to obtain. Currently we have increased our processing time in lieu of these issues and we can obtain your India visa from 10 to 15 working days. Therefore if you are obtaining your India visa we advise that you apply sooner rather then later.

China Visa Issuance

There are two ways of obtaining your China visas, the first is via the China embassy, and the second method is via the China visa outsourcing centre. What is the difference between the China visa application processes you may ask?

  1. If you complete your china visa application online and once you have done this then you can book an appointment date with the Chinese Embassy based in Portland square in central London. The normal China visa embassy fees apply. The only negative of this older process is that on occasions you may only find an application date several dates from when you want, and not necessarily the same day.
  2. If you want your China visa sooner, then you must submit your China visa application to the China visa outsourcing centre. Basically the only negative for this is that although you get your visa in a quicker time, it means that you must pay a £30 administration fee to the outsourcing centre.
