How i got Chinese tourist visa

Getting China’s visa for Indians is not tough. Usually, it gets processed in 3-4 working days. I didn’t take help of any travel agent. At first, I called the Chinese consulate in delhi to get information on visa formalities. They said that tourist visa applications are not accepted directly by the consulate. Applications have to come through the ‘China Visa application service centre’, which is operated by VFS.
