I am in the process of applying for my Chinese tourist visa and have booked my flights plus hotels but noticed that jewellery is not permitted in the application photos. I have had my septum for a while but have never taken out the jewellery without professional help and my ring appears to be quite stuck. I needed to apply over the next few days as I'll be away the following week and my trip in now in less than 50 days. Is it mandatory to remove all facial jewellery such a septum piercings or is it subtle enough that I can keep it in?
