Types of Visa's in Mainland China

From My extensive experience I have compiled the following brief Visa Info for anyone who needs it.


Three Main Types of Visa Categories for China.


“L” Class Visa (Tourism Visa)
Used for single “Tourism” Trips into china, usually only last 1 or 3 months with single or limited multiple entry into mainland China. People Holding these Visas are not allowed to work or conduct business inside of china whilst travelling on this visa.


“F” Class Visa (Business Visa)
Used for conducting Business in China. Business is defined by an act of providing a service or product in which remuneration is not received in China.
These visas are usually issued for 3-6-12 Months for limited multiple or unlimited multiple entry with a set stay limit of 14-30-60-90 day stays (the visa holder must exit after the set about of days stated as maximum stay on the visa they are holding).


“Z” Class Visa
Used when a applicant has been sponsored by a legitimate chinese company. These are very hard to obtain as there is a lot of paperwork, however are very necessary if you are being remunerated inside of china. These usually have to be renewed every year with a new contract from the employer.


Special "E" Class Visas available at Louhu Boarder crossing
and are available for all passport holder EXCEPT USA. These are short stay (usually 3-5 days) single entry, exit via same port as entry, and are paid in Cash at the Visa Office. below is a list of countires and prices.

Hi everyone I haven't been

Hi everyone

I haven't been to SZ since mid-2007. I've heard that all sorts of stuff is going down with visas pre-Olympics.

Are they stil doing HKD$150 visas on the border? (I'm Australian.)

Really appreciate advice if anyone can help.

Cheers

hi,u'd better issue visa at

hi,u'd better issue visa at your own country. First of all,now you can do in Hongkong for China mainland visa is max 30 days and two entry. There is no more multiple visa for months or 1 year. What's more,you can't get visa after hours waiting within the day,u have to wait for four/five days,so u will spend the hell for hotel in hongkong and waste your time. Plus,I don't know which documents u need provide. Flight/hotel booking,and company invitation letter chopped by government might required.

The situation won't be better untill Oct.8th. Then we don't know if our government will change it again. Anyway,good luck and best wishes!
