(2) entrust the visa office of China Travel Agency to apply (generally only for tourist visa)
(3) the foreign relatives and friends apply for the visa directly to the immigration office of the country.
I don't know which country you are going to. In the case of not knowing which country, there are several aspects to answer your question
-
if the destination country has only an embassy but no consulate in China, it can only apply for a visa at the embassy
-
if the destination country has both embassies and consulates in China, which embassy or consulate to apply for a visa, the territorial division of the destination country's embassy or consulate to China, the applicant's registered permanent residence or permanent residence, and which territorial your registered permanent residence or permanent residence belongs to, you can apply for a visa at the embassy or consulate in this territorial area.
