Yes, Ukrainian citizens require a visa to enter China. Since the PRC consulates in Ukraine suspended operations in March 2020 due to COVID-19, visas must be processed via third countries. The primary hub is Moldova (Chisinau), where china2day provides a 100% remote turnkey application without you ever leaving Ukraine.

How long you can stay in China and how often you can enter.
Tourist L visas allow stays up to 30 days per entry with a 3 or 6-month validity window. Business M visas are issued for commercial trips up to 60 days per entry, valid for 3, 6, or 12 months. The annual M-Multi visa enables unlimited entries of up to 60 consecutive days each throughout the year. Long-term visas (Q1, S1, X1) are issued for stays exceeding 180 days and require conversion upon arrival.
Converting long-term entry visas into legal residency status.
Long-term entry visas Q1, S1, X1, and work Z visas are not final residency permits; they function as entry tickets. Within 30 days of arrival in China, you must submit documents to the local migration bureau to convert your visa into a temporary residence permit. This crucial administrative step is handled by the applicant directly or with the sponsorship of the host employer or academic institution.
Travel regulations for Hong Kong, Macao, and restricted zones like Tibet.
Hong Kong and Macao operate under independent immigration systems. Traveling to these regions from mainland China counts as an international exit, immediately consuming a visa entry. Circular routes (Mainland → Hong Kong → Mainland) thus require double-entry or multi-entry visas. Tibet is a highly restricted region: a standard Chinese visa alone is insufficient. Visiting Tibet requires a special Tibet Travel Permit (TTP) secured in advance through an authorized tour operator.
WHY MOLDOVA?
Why Moldova?
The Chinese consulate in Kyiv has been closed since March 2020. Moldova is the only country that accepts documents without the applicant being present.
No. You hand over your passport in Kyiv — via Nova Poshta from any city, or in person. We take it from there: documents go to Moldova, get submitted at the consulate, and the passport comes back to Kyiv with the visa inside. The one exception is biometrics for long-term visas (Q1, S1, X1) and work visas (Z, over 30 days). Children under 14 and adults over 70 don't take biometrics at all — even for these visa types.
From $270 all-inclusive for a single-entry visa. This covers the consular fee, logistics, our work, and return of the passport. There's no separate "Moldova surcharge" — the final price is quoted at consultation, with no surprises along the way.
8–10 working days from the moment we receive your passport. That's the full cycle: preparation → electronic submission → consulate confirmation → visa sticker → return to Kyiv. If the consulate is closing for holidays, we warn you in advance and time the submission to avoid downtime.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CHINA VISAS
Answers to the most common questions about China visa processing.
Yes, a visa remains mandatory for Ukrainians. You can obtain it remotely through our Chisinau hub in 10–14 days. For Ukrainians legally residing in EU countries with active status (residence permit or temporary protection), we offer professional preparation of the 'maximum package' for local submission.
Since December 2024, Ukrainian citizens are eligible for a 240-hour (10-day) visa-free transit when traveling through one of 60+ international Chinese airports to a third country. Onward tickets to a third destination are strictly required (returning directly to the country of departure is not allowed). If China is your primary destination, you must secure a standard visa.
The visa type depends on your purpose: Tourism (L), Business (M), Study (X), or Family (Q/S). For Canton Fair and trade exhibition attendees, a Business (M) visa is required. We help you choose the ideal category for your trip.
Citizens of several EU countries (including Poland until December 31, 2026) enjoy visa-free entry for short stays. Ukrainian passport holders must secure a visa for general entry unless utilizing the 240-hour transit program.
Remote turnkey processing via Moldova takes 10–14 calendar days, including round-trip Nova Poshta international shipping. Express processing can reduce this to 7–10 days. We highly recommend starting your application 1.5 months before your planned departure.
No, for most visa categories (L, M, Q2, S2, X2, F, and Z under 30 days), biometrics are waived in 2026 — no personal presence is required, and we process everything remotely. Fingerprint collection is mandatory only for long-stay visas (Q1, S1, X1, Z over 30 days). Even then, our premium '1 day in Chisinau + 2 passports' strategy applies: you travel for just a single day to submit biometrics, return immediately to Ukraine using your second passport, and we fetch the final visa and ship it to you.
Remote turnkey processing via Moldova starts at $270 for a single-entry Tourist or Business visa (fully including all consular fees, verified sponsor invitations, flights/hotels bookings, and agency services). Preparation of the flawless 'maximum package' for local EU submissions is $150. International shipping is billed separately.
We perform a thorough pre-screening of your files and compile the bulletproof 'maximum package' to minimize any risks. Our overall approval rate stands at 99% (and 100% for trade exhibitions). If you have previously suffered a DIY refusal in Warsaw or through other agencies, we will audit the rejection and execute a recovery application in 7 days.
Depending on the program, a tour may include: flight selection and booking, hotels, inter-city transfers, itinerary and guide, and support throughout the trip. We organize sightseeing, business, and private tours.
