I. I have a ten-year valid, multiple-entry Chinese visa issued on February 14, 2019 and valid until February 14, 2029. Can I use this visa to go to China now?
Not at present. All multiple-year visas issued before March 26, 2020 and still in validity are still suspended. If such visa holders have the need to go to China at this stage, they can apply for a new visa. If you agree to cancel the multi-year visa to China issued before March 26, 2020, which is still valid, and pay the cost of a new visa, we will handle a new multi-year visa for you; If you do not agree to cancel or pay the fee, our library can provide you with a separate paper visa valid for two entries in six months for free.
II. I have a ten-year valid and multiple-entry L-shaped (tourist) visa, because it was issued before March 26, 2020. Although it is still valid, I know it is not available at present. Can I reapply for the L-shaped (tourist) visa?
No. At present, visas for travel to China and medical services are not accepted temporarily.
不可以。目前，赴华旅游、就医事由签证暂不受理。
III. I have noticed that the certificate hall of the Consulate General in San Francisco has resumed its business recently. Applicants can submit visa applications on site. Do you need to make an appointment for on-site processing?
三、我注意到前不久驻旧金山总领馆证件大厅恢复对外办公，申请人可以现场递交签证申请，请问现场办理是否需要预约？
IV. When does the Consulate General accept visa applications on the spot every day?
四、请问总领馆每天什么时候现场受理签证申请？
The time for our library to accept visa applications on site is 9:30-14:30 (Monday to Friday, weekends and holidays).
V. I want to change my Chinese passport. Can I submit my application materials to the Consulate General now?
