To further facilitate foreign nationals’ travel to China, the Chinese Embassy in Lebanon will provide walk-in visa application services starting from October 23, 2023. Visa applicants with ordinary passporters can log on to the China Online Visa Application (COVA) website (https://cova.mfa.gov.cn) to fill in the form and then go to the China Visa Application Centre in Beirut to submit the hard copies of visa application documents. There’s no need to make online appointment beforehand.
