As early as June 16, 2022, new information about the new procedure for obtaining visas to China for foreigners first appeared on the website of the Chinese Embassy in Russia in Chinese (the same information appeared again yesterday (June 17, 2022) and for some reason again in Chinese and in account of the Chinese Embassy in Russia in the Russian social network Vkontakte).

 

Such information in Russian in official sources on the website of the Embassy of China in Russia at the moment could not be found, therefore, below will be a translation of the article from Chinese into Russian, but due to the lack of an official translation, the information below is purely preliminary and for reference and before any use, be sure to check all the information directly with the Chinese Embassy in Russia. If you are not a citizen of Russia, then probably similar information may soon appear for your country - be sure to check with the Chinese Embassy in your country.
