Are you planning to visit China for a vacation or to attend a business function? Then you will need a China travel visa. This visa is really no more than a stamp on your passport?this stamp proves that you are allowed to visit the Chinese country. However, if you are traveling to Macau or Hong Kong, and your visit does not extend beyond 30 days, then a China travel visa will not be necessary in your case.
The purpose of your visit
The type of visa you obtain is largely dependent on the circumstances of your visit to the particular foreign country. Similarly, your Chinese visa can be for tourism or business. A
tourist travel visa?as the name implies?will allow you to perform regular tourist activities like visiting the main attractions, tourist spots, shopping and other leisurely activities.
If you are going to China on a business visa, this means that you are permitted to participate in business or commercial functions such as meetings, conferences, negotiations and other activities that the job assignment may require. If you are going to apply for a business visa, you will need to submit a business letter stating the details about your visit, the location that you will be visiting, a guarantee that you will have enough funds for your stay and that you will return to your home country.
Reading a China travel visa
Many people encounter difficulty in reading their Chinese visas, but there are only a few details that you need to know. The category of your China travel visa can be either ?L? or ?F?. Tourist visas are labeled ?L? while business visas are labeled ?F?. Beside either of these letters, you may notice one of these characters: 1, 2 or M. This will state the number of entries your visa allows you. It can be a single entry, double entry or a multiple entry. Below one of these characters, you will see the number of days you are allowed for you visit. Meanwhile, the entry dates show when the visa was issued and what is the latest time you are allowed to use the visa.
