Special Visa for Experts (R Visa) in China - Apply Now

China, being one of the world's largest economies, is constantly seeking foreign specialists and highly qualified employees. The expert visa, which is referred to as visa R in the visa application, is a category of visas for exceptionally talented workers whose skills and knowledge are urgently needed in China. Visa R is valid for 5-10 years and allows you to stay in China up to 180 days per visit.

To obtain a specialist visa (R visa), you must have an expert certificate. It is issued by the Chinese Ministry of Labor if your qualification is confirmed by documents, certificates, and the need for your employment is confirmed by an invitation letter from the employer. With the expert visa, you are allowed to take up a job or engage in consulting activities in China.

Depending on the purpose of your trip or if there are uncertainties in your application, the responsible Chinese consular officer may invite you to a personal interview. In addition, additional documents and materials confirming your expert status may be required. Depending on the purpose of the trip and the invitation, authorities establish an approved period of stay, the number of allowed entries and exits, as well as the validity period of the visa.
