The Chinese Embassy in London issued the first biometrics visa in the UK on Monday to Nobel laureate Professor Christopher Pissarides of the London School of Economics.
According to the Chinese Embassy in the UK, China has started to issue biometric visas in the UK under the law and the principle of reciprocity, which is also the new trend in the technical development of the visa. The Chinese Embassy in London will continue to provide good services for exchanges between the populations of both countries.
According to the law and the principle of reciprocity, the Chinese Embassy in the United Kingdom started saving fingerprints for British citizens‘ visa applications from 1 November 2018. From the 17th of December the biometric visas will be issued.
