Can you get a Chinese Visa online?

China does not currently offer a fully online visa application for Australian passport holders. However, applicants can complete the visa form online through the Chinese Visa Application Service Centre website, print it, and submit it with the required documents in person or by post to a visa centre. 

As visa and entry requirements for China may change over time, it is your responsibility to verify visa requirements from the Chinese Embassy in Australia, your local Chinese Consulate or the Chinese Visa Application Service Centre.
