Tips To Get A Business Visa

By Kelli Townsend


Visas are legal documents that give permission for a foreigner or alien to enter or leave a specific country or territory. Although a person may already have it, the immigration officers still have the authority to allow every individual to come and leave their place upon arrival time. There are nations that do not need such. But to get a China business visa is different. The said country is a great spot for starting commerce thus many wants to acquire such.

Business visa would fall under the short stay category. Because of this, a person can be granted a few days in the country. People who like to start a business are most likely to be given the grant to have one. Foreigners and interns may also be granted such only if they are invited to do research work and studies about science, education, sports and technology. Their stay must not exceed a six months duration.

Application for such will take for about more than a week. To be able to finish everything ahead of time, make sure that you prepare the right travel documents. For those people who are in a rush, they could have your application processed quickly but they require an additional pay.

To fill up the application form is the first step in applying for a visa. This can be taken from any Chinese Embassy. See to it that the information that you are writing are accurate and precise and choose the right type you are applying for. China sorts out all business visas under type F. A recent 2x2 passport photo, a copy of your flight details and your hotel accommodation must also be included in the documents to be submitted. It is also required to provide an invitation letter that comes from the company that is inviting you.

It would cost a lot for you to complete the entire process. But one could actually have their fees paid in any modes of payment they are comfortable with. Transaction can be done through cash, company checks or even credit cards. Processing fees differ in many cases. It could vary depending on the nationality of the applicant and whether the application will be rushed or not.

All applications are submitted personally. Those that are mailed are rejected easily. If you already prepared everything, bring the documents to a Chinese Consulate. Travel agencies can also do it for you in case you cannot make it.

Once submitted, all you have to do is wait for a response. It is recommended to apply one month before departure date to avoid postponements. Their policies may change at any time. One should always be ready for any situation and have everything done beforehand.

There are people who are not allowed to enter the territories of China. They are the ones who have mental disorders, AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis. Almost all countries have this rule. This is to protect the entry of unwanted illnesses into their territories.

A China business visa may expire. The duration of a type F is only good for thirty days which means a foreigner could stay in the said country for thirty days upon the date of entry. Failure to abide such will lead to some penalties and fines.
