The consulates of France, Germany and the Netherlands in Shanghai announced Thursday that a new joint visa application center has opened in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.
It is the largest satellite visa application center for the three countries in China, with 550 square meters, eight application counters, two premium counters and eight biometric counters.
To meet the growing demand of Chinese people seeking to travel to Europe, more decentralized joint visa application centers will be opened China-wide.
The reason why Hangzhou was chosen as the location of the new joint visa application center is that the city is considered by these consulates to be among China's most dynamic economic powerhouses.
