Introduction
If you are using a Click2visas to process the visa, there may be two fees involved, the China visa cost and the Click2visas Service Fee. The Consular Fees differ according to China’s reciprocal understanding with the country issuing the passport. American passport holders are charged consular fees slightly higher. Consular and Service China visa cost also differ depending on the visa form and how quickly you need it. Here are some examples of fees for the China Visa Consular Fees and the Click2visas Service Fees. If you were to use a service such as the ones mentioned above, remember that “standard” processing times range from 4 to 6 business days.
Who needs a Chinese Visa?
All international passport holders will need a China Visa upon entry into China with very few exceptions. You can use the click2visas widget, and your nation is in the required list or exemption list.
Which China Visa category should I apply for?
There are many kinds of visas to China, and new categories have been created effective September 1, 2013. The L visa that was traditionally used by most visitors and tourists was broken down into many groups depending on the visit’s intention. The form of visa, even for ordinary tourists, is the L visa, which can be a single, double, or multiple visas for entry.
- L Visa: Regular Visitors
- M Visa: For individuals engaged in business or trade
- Q1 / Q2: For family reunion purposes, or for adoption purposes
- F Visa: For scientific, technical, educational, cultural, or sporting exchanges.
- J Visa: For Reporters
- R Visa: The “talent” visa for highly qualified people in fields required in China
- X1 / X2 Visa: X2 for short-term studies, X1 for long-term students
- Z Visa: Accompanying members must apply under an S1 / S2 visa for persons applying for work in China but NOT to their accompanying families as before
- S1 / S2 Visa: for family members accompanying individuals on work or student visas (X and Z applicants)
When do I apply for my Visa to China?
There are two dates that you need to attend:
Visa validity, suggested by the date of the “Pass Before.” You can enter China when the visa is valid at any time during this period. China Visas are either valid for 3, 6, or 12 months depending on the purpose or number of entries. Applying within three months of the expected travel day will be enough for a daily tourist visa. In fact, if you do that much sooner, you are running the risk of expiring your “enter before” date before you arrive in China. For U.S. residents, Canadians, and Israelis: You can apply for 10-year visas.
How long you can stay is usually 30 days per entry, and the day you reach China, your length of stay starts.
