China’s Visa Page Has a New Look!

2026 New Version of Visa Page

Some travelers who recently received their Chinese visas may have noticed that the visa page has been updated.

Compared with the previous green-toned design, the new version features a lighter blue color scheme and a cleaner, more modern layout. The most noticeable change is that the applicant’s photo now appears directly on the visa page, making the personal information easier to verify at a glance.

A quick comparison shows:

The previous version was mainly green and did not include the applicant’s photo.

The new version uses a blue-toned design and includes the visa holder’s photo, while still displaying key information such as the visa category, validity period, duration of stay, number of entries, and place of issue.

Although it is only a small change to the visa page, it reflects the continued modernization of China’s visa documentation.

Anyone applying for a Chinese visa in the near future may want to check whether their visa has also been issued in the new format.
