The Chinese Embassy in Rwanda wishes to remind that, the Embassy has, since December 2, 2020, launched the China Online Visa Application (COVA) and Appointment for Visa Application Submission (AVAS) (please refer to an earlier notice)，which requires that all applicants for a China visa must secure their appointments for visa application at https://avas.cs.mfa.gov.cn before submitting application at the Embassy.

To provide an orderly visa service as Chinese visa applications increase, the Embassy will fully implement the arrangement of online appointment of visa application for private passport holders. Starting from February 15, 2023, only applicants with AVAS confirmation will be received at the reception. Diplomatic/official passports holders are exempted from the appointment requirement.
