If traveling to China for business meetings, sales presentations or
other business related activities, you'll need a Chinese business visa.
Fortunately we handle hundreds of business visas every week, and we are
experts at making the process as simple as possible.
Business Visa for China Overview
It is important to understand that Chinese business visas are intended
for those who are visiting companies in China as part or normal business
meetings.
They are not intended to replace the necessity for a Chinese
work visa if you will be directly employed or performing technical work
or training. In order to obtain a China business visa, you must provide,
among other requirements, a letter of invitation from the host company
in China detailing who you are visiting and what type of business will
transpire. A similar letter from your employer in the US is required as
well.
ItsEasy maintains the visa requirements to all countries, including China. Use
the widget above to see your particular requirements for visiting China based upon
your citizenship and state of residence in the USA.
Sample Requirements For China
Below is a sample set of requirements for visiting China using a Tourist Visa Visa. These requirements
are only a SAMPLE. To get the EXACT requirements for you to visit China, please go to our TripBuilder page
and enter in your specific information that is your exact situation.
Effective immediately, the Consulate of China in New York now requires notarized copies of proof of US status for all non-US citizens. This means you must submit a notarized copy of your Green Card, I-94, or I-20 with your visa application to ensure smooth processing.

Important Issues with China Tourist Visa
In this video we go over the common mistakes with China Tourist Visas
1.1 Passport
• Submit your current, signed passport. Visas are stamped directly into the passport, so the original is required.
1.2 Photo Requirement
Submit two (2) identical, color, passport-style photographs. The photos must be recent and generally should not be the same as those used for the passport itself.
Photo Criteria:
• Plain white background
• Printed on photo paper
• No glasses or jewelry
• Neutral expression
1.3 Proof of Residency
• Provide a legible, color copy of the front AND back of your driver's license or state-issued ID. No other forms of residency proof are accepted.
1.4 Travel to Turkey or Pakistan
• If you have ever visited Turkey or Pakistan, complete and provide the affidavit below.
1.5 Previous Chinese Visa Holders
• Submit previous Chinese visas. If they are in an old passport, include that passport or provide a letter explaining its absence (e.g., lost, stolen, damaged).
1.6 Applicants Under 18yrs
• Applications for minors are treated individually. Additional requirements apply.
1.7 Former Chinese Nationals
