extended information
there are three ways for Chinese citizens to apply for foreign visa:
(1) I directly apply to foreign embassies or consulates in China
(2) entrust the visa office of China Travel Agency to apply (generally only for tourist visa)
(3) foreign relatives and friends apply for visa directly to the immigration office of the country
the adoption of the above three methods depends on the situation. If I am familiar with the situation and the embassy accepts personal applications, I can apply for a visa directly from the embassy or consulate in China
some countries do not have embassies in China, so foreign relatives and friends should apply for an entry permit locally. After approval, relatives can send it to the applicant, and the applicant can start the journey abroad with his passport and visa

1. The photos of children aged six or above must fully meet the specifications shown in this guide
