Chinese Visa Policy

China's visa policy regulates entry for foreign nationals intending to visit, work, or study in the country. Various visa types exist, including tourist (L), business (M), student (X), and work (Z) visas, each requiring specific documents, such as an invitation letter or proof of accommodation. The application process typically involves submitting forms, photographs, and fees to a Chinese embassy or consulate. Visa approval is subject to security checks and eligibility criteria. Visitors should plan ahead, as processing times can vary, and some countries may have additional restrictions or requirements due to diplomatic relations.
