Wendy Wu Tours has been granted special exemption from China?s new visa legislation which states all British passport holders have to submit fingerprints at the time of submitting a visa application.
The China and Asia travel specialist is allowed to continue processing visas without fingerprints until December 3, valid for UK holidaymakers planning to take a trip to China before 2020. Agents can pass on that the advantage with this is that their clients won?t need to visit the Chinese consulates in person in London, Manchester and Edinburgh in order to complete their application.
Anyone without a holiday booking can benefit from Wendy Wu?s visa only service at a cost of ?310 per person. The operator will require all visa applications by Monday, November 26 at the latest to ensure they are processed without the need for fingerprints.
Wendy Wu, founder of the tour operator, said: ?We know this is going to have an impact and so we strongly advise agents to contact any customers who have made a booking to China or any potential customers looking to travel to China to move quickly and get their visas with us now before the new legislation takes effect. The good news for those that hold a British citizen passport is that their visa is valid for two years from the date of issue and can be used multiple times for stays of up to 90 days each visit.
?Since Wendy Wu Tours was formed 20 years ago we have has always worked very closely with agents to make travel to China easy and accessible to their customers. Wendy Wu Tours was instrumental in changing the perception of travel to China from something incredibly difficult to that of a mainstream destination, as it is today. We are the experts for China and, given the lack of publicity regarding these visa changes, we see it as our duty to inform agents of this new legislation.?
