China to launch online visa system for Indians Dec 22, 2025

• China will launch an online visa application system for Indian citizens on December 22, 2025.
• The new system aims to ease travel between India and China, following years of limited movement after the 2020 border clashes.
• Applicants will be able to complete forms and upload documents directly on the new online platform.
• This initiative is part of broader confidence-building measures, including resumed direct flights and India lifting its tourist visa suspension for Chinese nationals in November 2025.

Why It Matters: It simplifies visa applications for Indians, easing travel and improving India-China relations.
