TOURIST VISA BASICS
DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR TOURIST VISAS
BUSINESS ACCOUNT
There are two types of tourist visa. These are:
SINGLE ENTRY VISA and
DOUBLE ENTRY VISA
There are no multi entry visas for tourists
For single entry visas, you must enter China within 3 months from when the visa is granted. For double entry visas, you must enter China within 6 months from when the visa is granted. The length of visa will be determined by the Chinese Embassy based on your purpose of journey and itinerary but as a rough guide, we can usually get you single and double entry visas for 60 days stay per entry, if your flight bookings show that you are going to be in China for that length of time - click here for more details or Contact us for guidance.
