What is specific to China
China is one of the most travelled routes from Pakistan, for business as much as tourism, and the requirements differ noticeably between the two.
Applications go through the Chinese Visa Application Centre rather than the embassy directly.
How we prepare the file
We run your documents against the pattern of problems we see on China files: dates that disagree between flights and accommodation, a bank statement missing the branch stamp on one page, photographs outside specification, and insurance wording that does not cover the right territory. Each of those is fixed before submission rather than discovered at the counter.
