Do I need travel insurance for a China visa?

Travel insurance is required for most China applications. Visank can arrange a compliant policy that meets the embassy's minimum coverage, so you don't have to source it yourself.

Do I need to book flights and hotels before applying for a China visa?

No — never book real tickets before approval. Visank provides free, embassy-accepted dummy flight and hotel reservations for your China application. You only book real travel once the visa is granted.

Is biometrics required for a China visa?

Yes, biometrics (fingerprints and a photograph) are captured at your VFS/visa-centre appointment. Visank books the earliest available slot for you and prepares your full file beforehand.
