BEIJING (Bloomberg): China said Wednesday (Sept 20) it has simplified its visa application process as it looks to attract more visitors from overseas.

Among the changes, applicants now need to list where they have travelled in the past year rather than five years, while the educational background section requires only the highest level reached, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
