One must apply for a China visa offline by submitting their original passport along with the duly filled China visa application form. Upon verifying the documents, the visa is pasted on the passport and returned back to the applicant on the address furnished. As there are only two Chinese Embassies in India (Mumbai and Delhi), visiting in person to submit the application is rather inconvenient for Indian residents.
