To provide a better service for visa applicants, the Chinese Embassy in Sweden, following the success of the visa centers of other countries, decides to introduce the Chinese Visa Application Service Center (CVASC).

CVASC is operated by CVS CENTER AB, and strictly in line with relevant laws of Sweden. CVASC takes every precaution to ensure the safety of the personal information and documents of the applicants. 

While providing you with high quality services, CVASC kindly reminds you of the following:  

(1) Holders of diplomatic, service (official) passport, or applicants qualified for applying for Chinese diplomatic, courtesy and service visa, or applicants applying for the Hong Kong visa/entry permit or the Macao visa still submit their applications directly to the Chinese Embassy.

(2) CVASC has no involvement in the visa assessment and decision-making process. Whether a visa is to be issued or not to be issued, and what type of visa to be issued as well as its period of validity, number of entry and duration of stay shall be decided by the Chinese Embassy in Gothenburg in the light of China's relevant laws and regulations.
