The China Visa is an official entry permit that allows foreign nationals to visit mainland China for tourism, business, work, study, transit, or family reunions. China offers multiple visa categories—including the Tourist (L), Business (M), Work (Z), Student (X1/X2), and Family Visit (S/Q) visas—each designed for a specific purpose of travel. Applicants are required to submit a valid passport, a completed visa application form, a recent photograph, travel plans, and supporting documents such as invitation letters or financial proof. Standard processing takes around 4–7 working days, with express options available in select locations. Depending on the visa type, travelers may be granted single, double, or multiple-entry visas with varying durations of stay.
