The MFA guidance describes visa issuance through diplomatic and consular missions; online filing or a VFS application centre would not itself establish electronic issuance.","For China, Article 6 separately preserves, only through 31 October 2026, 30-day visa-free entry for organized tourist groups with paid-arrangement and return proof, or business-passport holders with an invitation.
