About Business Visas to China

The China Business Visa, also known as the M Visa, is a visa for people who are traveling to China for business-related purposes. For example, it can be about participating in meetings, negotiating business agreements, visiting suppliers, conducting market research or participating in trade fairs and conferences.

The M visa is a traditional visa and is different from tourist visas, work visas, and student visas. The visa gives the right to conduct business activities in China but does not give the right to be employed or perform paid work in the country.

Business visas to China are also valid for Swedish citizens who travel to China for business purposes. The application must be submitted before departure and must be approved before the start of the trip.

M visas can be issued as Single Entry, Double Entry, or Multiple Entry. The permitted stay is up to 90 days per entry, depending on the decision of the Chinese authorities.

You will need the following documents to apply:

• Completed visa application
• Copy of passport information page
• The passport must be valid at least 6 months after the date of entry
• Visa photo
• Invitation Letter from Company or Business Partner in China

Any additional documents requested by the Chinese authorities

China can change visa rules and document requirements at short notice. It is therefore important to check the current rules before submitting the application.
