Applicants should fill in relevant application forms when applying for passport, visa, notarization or authentication truthfully, completely, and accurately.

            We found out in our work that some application forms were illegible, some are outdated ones issued several years ago, some items in the forms were left blank without any reason, some items were inaccurate or untruthful, and some were not signed or not signed by the applicant him or herself. These problems have resulted in the delay or errors in the processing. Applicants are therefore reminded to:

          1. Always use the updated applications forms. Most of the updated forms can be downloaded from our website or be picked up for free at the Visa Office.Any old forms other than the standard ones will be refused.

         2. Fill in the form truthfully. Applicants should hold full responsibilities for all the information filled in on application forms.

         3. Fill in the form completely. All items of the forms should be filled in. If there is nothing to declare, "N/A" should be filled in. Please do not leave any item blank without any reason.

         4. Fill out the form accurately. Applicants are recommended to use e-Forms by computers. If you do not have a computer, you should fill in clearly, better in capital letters.

        5. Sign the form by applicant him or herself. Only forms of underage applicants can be signed by lawful guardian.

       Application forms should be the original signed by the applicant. The completed form will not be accepted if it is photocopied or faxed.
