Wendy Wu counteracts ‘problematic’ new China visa laws
Wendy Wu has launched a new online service, in conjunction with the Chinese Embassy, to simplify the application process for a China travel visa.
The move comes weeks before new legislation kicks in from April 3 2018 that will make the application process considerably harder and will make all current application methods and forms invalid.
"Currently 99% of the visa applications received by Wendy Wu are completed by hand using the current process and so, as you can expect, this drastic change in legislation is going to have considerable repercussions for our agents and customers," said Brian Hynes, operations manager.
To counter this, Wendy Wu is launching a new online China visa form for agents and customers.
"We know this new legislation will be problematic for agents and customers and so we’ve made the application process very easy by taking care of all the complexity in advance and creating a very simple online form which only requires customers to complete their personal travel information and contact details," said Hynes.
Wendy Wu is actively advising all agents and customers of the new China visa legislation.
