China visa document checker
A China visa document checker for Sri Lankan applicants. It reads your passport, bank statements and supporting documents against the Chinese Embassy's published requirements for the tourist (L), student (X) and work (Z) visas, and flags what fails — passport validity, blank pages, funds and bookings — before you submit in Colombo.
Is my China visa file ready?
VisaCheck validates your China visa documents against the published China rules for your route (Tourist (L) · Student (X) · Work (Z)), grades every item pass, warn or fail with an overall readiness score, and explains any shortfall in plain English before you submit. If you have already been refused, it maps the officer's reasons to the exact rule you missed and gives a reapplication plan. It is advisory guidance, not legal advice, and does not guarantee a visa.

PASS · WARN · FAILChina visa document questions
Do Sri Lankans need a visa for China?
Yes. Sri Lankan passport holders must obtain a Chinese visa in advance — for tourism, the L visa — applied for at the Chinese Embassy in Colombo. China's unilateral visa-free list does not include Sri Lanka.
How much money do I need for a China tourist visa?
There is no fixed published threshold, but posts informally expect roughly USD 1,500–3,000 in accessible funds, evidenced by three months of bank statements plus confirmed flights and hotels.
How long can I stay on a China L visa?
A single-entry L visa is typically valid for 3 months with a permitted stay of 30–90 days per entry, as marked on the visa.
How does VisaCheck decide pass, warn or fail on a China visa?
Each item is scored by a deterministic engine against the published China requirement for your route, so the same documents always produce the same verdict and every result is traceable to the exact rule it used. Pass means the item meets the requirement, warn means it is borderline and worth strengthening, and fail means a hard requirement is not met and must be fixed before you submit.
Does VisaCheck guarantee my China visa will be approved?
No. The decision rests entirely with the China authorities, and no tool or person can promise an outcome. VisaCheck improves the completeness and consistency of your file and explains any shortfall in plain English before you apply. It is advisory guidance, not legal advice.
Are my passport and bank statements safe when I check my Chinese visa documents?
Yes. Your documents are processed on UK/EU infrastructure, used only to run your check, never sold or shared, and never used to train AI models. VisaCheck retains only the extracted field values needed to reproduce your result, not the original files.
My China visa was already refused — can VisaCheck help me reapply?
Yes. Upload your refusal letter and the refusal analyser maps each stated ground to the exact China rule you missed, shows the evidence that was weak or missing, and gives you a prioritised reapplication plan — the same rule packs as the pre-submission check, run in reverse.
How do I know the China requirements VisaCheck uses are current?
Rules are held in versioned rule packs and every assessment records the pack version it used, so results are reproducible and auditable. Requirements still change and edge cases exist, so each verdict points you to the official government source to confirm the final details for your route before you submit.
Understand why your China visa was refused
If your China application has already been refused, VisaCheck reads your refusal letter and maps each officer's reason to the exact China rule you missed, then hands you a prioritised reapplication plan — so the same shortfall doesn't cost you twice.
