How it works

Each branch uses the linked government checklist. Required, conditional and supporting items are labelled separately. Residence and application location can change which checklist applies. The Schengen branch is specifically for Netherlands tourism applications in China; Japan covers ordinary single-entry tourism.

Tick boxes to track preparation, then explicitly save progress on this device, download a text copy or print. Changing the filters resets the current ticks. Saved progress stays in this browser until cleared; no documents are stored or submitted.

Fees are dated reference amounts, not all-in quotes. Edit the amount for your category; currencies are not converted. Japan’s amount is a general yen equivalent, paid in local currency. Fee displays round to two decimal places; item counts are exact. Processing estimates are not appointment availability or promises of a decision.

This branch organizes ordinary single-entry individual tourism applications. Mainland applicants use a designated travel agency in their residence jurisdiction. The older embassy document page still shows older fees; the dated July 2026 MOFA fee notice takes precedence for the general fee reference. Student shortcuts and multiple-entry applications require a separate agency review.

Frequently asked questions

Must I use an agency in mainland China?
Yes, use the designated tourism agency for your actual residence jurisdiction.
Does the old RMB fee still apply?
Do not rely on the older document page’s fee table. Check the July 2026 MOFA fee notice and the receiving mission’s local-currency schedule.
