Apply for a business visa (M visa) in China

Business visa to China, known as a "M-category visa", is an important document for those who plan to conduct business activities in this dynamically developing country. The visa allows not only to participate in business meetings and negotiations, but also to take part in exhibitions, training courses, and other events that contribute to business development.

Depending on the company's invitation, a business visa can be issued for a stay period of 30 to 90 days, and in exceptional cases—up to 180 days. The visa can be issued for single, double (for 90 or 180 days) or multiple entries (for a period of 6 to 24 months).

Proper visa processing is the first step to a successful business trip. It is important to consider all requirements and prepare the necessary documents so that your trip goes smoothly and without unnecessary delays.

Whether you need a visa to enter China depends on the traveler's nationality and the current visa policy. Citizens of Germany and many other countries are entitled to visa-free entry or simplified procedures for business trips, while citizens of other countries need to apply for a visa in advance. Detailed information on visa-free entry can be found in the section dedicated to Chinese visas. However, if you plan to stay in the country for more than 30 days, you need to apply for a business visa in advance to avoid potential issues during your trip.

Foreign citizens who are not eligible for visa-free entry also need to obtain a business visa before their trip. Therefore, it is important to familiarize yourself with the current visa policy for your country before traveling to avoid any inconvenience at the border.

A business visa to China allows entry into the country for 90 days from the date of issue. After entering China, the visa is valid for a stay of 30 to 90 days, and in some cases — up to 180 days. The validity period and conditions of the visa may vary depending on the place of work and type of invitation.

Types of business visas:

• Single-entry visa for 3 months with the possibility of staying in China for 30, 60, or 90 days.
• Double-entry visa for 3 or 6 months allows staying in China for up to 30, 60, or 90 days for one entry.
• Multiple-entry visa for 6 or 12 months provides the opportunity to stay for 30, 60, or 90 days for one entry.

Each type of visa has its own characteristics and various purposes, so the choice depends on the duration of your trip and the frequency of visits.

If you fail to enter the country within the specified period or exceed the number of allowed entries, the validity of your business visa will expire. Similarly, it will also cease to be valid if you reach the maximum number of days of stay.

A double-entry visa is especially relevant if trips to Hong Kong, Macao, or neighboring countries are planned, and then a return to China. The date of the second entry must be specified in advance in the visa application, and it must be within 90 or 180 days from the date of issue of the visa, depending on its type. However, the departure date may be later.

A mandatory condition for applying for a business visa is the presence of a valid business invitation. The invitation must include the name, surname, and date of birth of the applicant, as well as be written on the company's letterhead with the postal address and phone number. The inviting company must be officially registered and authorized in China.

The invitation should specify the period during which the presence of the applicant is required, as well as the business relationship between the inviting company and the applicant's company, and the tasks to be performed in China. Note that invitations with incorrect data will not be recognized by the Chinese visa services, and the visa will not be issued.
