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 submit the documents 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.
SECURE PROCESS
How the China visa application process works via Chișinău
PRC consulates in Ukraine haven't issued visas since 2020. For Ukrainian citizens, applications are typically submitted via the accredited PRC consulate in Chișinău, which accepts them without the applicant present. Documents move along a transparent, tracked and insured chain; the consulate reviews and decides.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers to the most common questions about document safety, timing, and cost.
The consulate can refuse a visa and is not obliged to state a reason — the decision is always theirs. If you were refused, it helps to review your documents carefully for completeness and accuracy, consider the likely reason, and prepare a new application. We can help you understand the requirements and prepare the documents for a fresh submission; no one can guarantee the outcome, as the consulate makes the decision.
Remote visa support via Moldova takes 10–14 days, including round-trip Nova Poshta international shipping. Expedited (Express) turnaround is also available. We highly recommend starting your application 1.5 months before your planned departure.
The cost is the official consular fee set by the PRC embassy — it depends on the visa type and number of entries and is the same for every applicant — plus your own trip costs. We do not influence the consular fees. The cost of any assistance, if you need it, is agreed individually on request. The consulate makes the visa decision.
Yes, Ukrainian citizens require a visa to enter China. Since the PRC consulates in Ukraine suspended operations in March 2020 due to COVID-19 and have not reopened because of the war, visas must be processed via third countries. The primary hub is Moldova (Chisinau), where china2day makes a fully remote application possible without you ever leaving Ukraine.
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.
