Business Visa to China Requirements

Passport: Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your planned departure date and have at least one blank page in it.  The amendment pages in the back of the passport are not suitable for visa stamps. If you do not have any blank visa pages in your passport, you must first amend your passport to have pages added. If your passport expires within six months, you must first renew your passport.

We will secure your visa using the added pages or new passport
