Can you please tell me why you need 2 photos for a visa at

China for 14 days, if the visa is group? And what other documents are needed: an immigration card, a medical declaration? Where can I see a sample of filling out a questionnaire?

Responds Larisa Barysheva
For group Chinese visa, the photo is not necessary at all, only a copy of the first page of the OZP.

To register an individual Chinese visa, Russian citizens must provide the following documents: a passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of the end of the trip, 1 color photo 3x4 cm on a light background, an invitation from the Chinese side, a completed questionnaire. The citizens of the countries of the former CIS will also need a certificate from their place of work on the letterhead of the organization, indicating the position and salary, migration card (if applicable), a copy of the registration in the Russian Federation for a period of at least 3 months.

The sample of the questionnaire can be viewed on the official website of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the Russian Federation.
