Guide last updated October 4, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended stay, with 2 blank pages
  • Completed SVG visa application form (available from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Immigration Department website)
  • 2 recent passport-size photos, white background, 45mm x 35mm
  • Proof of sufficient funds (bank statement, last 3 months)
  • Confirmed round-trip air ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter from a resident)
  • Travel health/medical insurance covering the stay is recommended
  • Biometrics are not routinely collected for this visa category; some missions may request fingerprints on arrival

Visa types

  • Tourist/Visitor Visa: single entry, valid for use within 3 months of issue, permits a stay of up to 30 days, fee around USD 67
  • Business Visa: single or multiple entry, same validity window, requires an invitation letter from an SVG company, fee around USD 67-100
  • Transit Visa: for travelers connecting through SVG, valid 24-48 hours, fee around USD 30

How to apply

  • Since SVG has no embassy or consulate in mainland China, applications are usually submitted by mail or courier directly to the Immigration Department, Kingstown, or through the nearest Caribbean Community mission (commonly in London or Washington D.C.)
  • Documents checklist: application form, photos, passport, bank statement, flight itinerary, hotel booking
  • Fee is paid by bank transfer or international money order in USD
  • Standard processing takes 10-15 working days once documents are received; no formal express service
  • No interview is normally required for straightforward tourist applications

Fees & processing time

  • Tourist visa fee: approximately USD 67 (no separate VFS/BLS service, as applications go direct or via a partner mission)
  • Courier/mailing costs for document submission: USD 20-50 depending on carrier
  • Total estimated cost: USD 90-120
  • Standard processing: 10-15 working days from receipt of a complete application
  • No official express/priority option is published; allow extra time for postal delays

Tips for China travelers

  • Apply at least 4-6 weeks before travel to allow for mailing time to and from Kingstown
  • Common rejection reasons: incomplete bank statements, unconfirmed hotel bookings, or a return ticket not matching the stated travel dates
  • Because there is no local VFS/BLS center, keep courier tracking numbers and send only certified copies of the passport data page unless the original is specifically requested
  • No current bilateral travel advisory affects Chinese nationals
  • Extensions of stay can be requested at the Immigration Department in Kingstown before the initial 30 days expire
