Do delegates really have to send in their original passport to the visa service? Is it safe to ship a passport?
Yes, delegates applying for a China or Russia visa have to submit their original passport so that the visa can be affixed directly inside it by a consulate official. It is safe to ship a passport if it is done with a traceable overnight shipping service. The visa service actually requires all passports to be shipped in this manner.
