This form is required for anyone who wishes to visit China. People who plan on visiting mainland China for business or pleasure must acquire a visa in advance. A visa is not required if you stay in Hong Kong or Macao for under 90 days. The type visa you receive will depend on your reason for visiting the country. The most common types of visas include the following: tourist visa, Q2 visa, F visa and student visa. Travelers may also apply for double or multiple entry visas. Applicants will need a passport to obtain a visa. Your passport will have to be sent to the Chinese Embassy/Consulate so that the visa can be affixed to it. A regular business or tourist visa is valid for 30-90 days per entry. If you need to extend your stay, an extension can be filed with the visa office or Public Security Bureau. Do not overstay your visa. Once issued, your visa type can’t be changed. You would have to apply for a new visa. For this reason, it is very important to know the type visas you will need during the application process. For example, you can’t change a tourist visa to a student visa once it has been issued.
