China visa application
At section ‘Upload Materials’. What passport pages do they want?
I have many full pages, why would they want them.
Any visa are well expired.
Do they want blank pages uploaded?
When applying for a China visa and reaching the “Upload Materials” section, the passport pages they typically want are the ones showing your personal information and your previous visas. This is to help the Chinese consulate verify your identity and travel history, even if previous visas are expired.
Here’s a detailed explanation:
- Personal information page: Always upload the page with your photo, passport number, and personal details.
- Previous visas: Upload pages containing any previously issued visas, especially to China or other major countries. Even expired visas help show travel history.
- Blank pages: You do not need to upload blank pages. Only pages with relevant stamps, visas, or personal info are required.
- Full-page scans: Make sure each uploaded page is clear, readable, and complete. Cropped or blurry images may be rejected.
In summary, you should upload:
- Passport information page (photo page)
- All pages containing previous visas and entry/exit stamps
- Exclude completely blank pages unless specifically requested
This allows the visa officers to assess your travel history and identity efficiently. There is no need to provide all pages of your passport if they contain nothing relevant.
