Business visas to Shanghai: China has simplified the process of obtaining business visas for foreign entrepreneurs

The Chinese authorities have announced the introduction of special visa conditions for foreign entrepreneurs who regularly come to Shanghai on business. It will now take less time to obtain a long-term business visa, and the process itself will become more convenient.

One of the main innovations is the possibility to issue a five-year multiple-entry visa of category M with the right to stay in the country for up to 180 days per one entry. Such a measure is aimed at business people actively working with Chinese partners and promoting international trade.

To obtain a visa, you must first obtain a special invitation from the Shanghai Municipal Foreign Affairs Office. It can be requested through the inviting company - it submits an application to the local authorities, passes the qualification process and receives the invitation within a week. At the same time, there is no processing fee.

In addition, the authorities have simplified the visa application procedure itself. Businessmen will not have to be fingerprinted, and they will be able to travel with their spouse and children. Another convenient change is that payment will only be required for an annual multiple-entry visa.

These innovations make Shanghai even more open for international business. Now frequent business trips to the city will become less time-consuming and convenient for both entrepreneurs and their families.
