Chinese visa requirements for child adopted from China but American citizen

Hi.. We will travel for vacation to China. My daughter was born in China, she is adopted and is an American citizen with a US passport. Do I need to submit her original Chinese passport along with her American Passport with the visa application. Many thanks!

Lori,

If your US passport says, you are born in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong:

a) You must provide them with old passport OR
b) Previous Chinese visa

No exceptions to this rule.

The consulate will cancel your daughter's Chinese passport and Chinese citizenship and then issue the Chinese visa into her USA passport. In the future, if she needs to re-apply, she will need to show only previous China visa. You need old Chinese passport only for 1st China visa in USA passport.


Best regards,
