About the Visa
What is a Business Visa to China
The Chinese Business Visa (Type M) is issued for commercial activity: trade negotiations, exhibitions (Canton Fair, CIIE), factory inspections, contract signings, and supplier sourcing. It does not permit local employment — a Z work visa is required for that. It can be single-entry, double-entry, or multiple-entry (valid up to 1 year). Biometrics are not required for an M visa. China2Day handles everything remotely via Moldova — from invitation verification to passport delivery.
Key requirements

Visa sub-types & validity parameters

Single Entry (1×)
One entry, stay up to 30 days. Best for a single Canton Fair session or supplier visit.
Category 02
Double Entry (2×)
Two entries within 6 months — covers spring and autumn Canton Fair sessions back-to-back.

IMPORTANT RULE: HONG KONG & MACAU VOID SINGLE-ENTRY VISAS
Please remember that exiting mainland China into Hong Kong or Macau is legally treated as crossing an international border. If you hold a single-entry visa, exiting to Hong Kong immediately voids it, preventing you from returning to the mainland. For trips planning transits or side-visits to Hong Kong/Macau with a return to the mainland, you must apply for a Double-Entry or Multiple-Entry visa.

Why top-tier professionals and corporate travelers choose China2day over the physical Warsaw Poland DIY submission approach.
| Comparison factors | China2day (Concierge) | Self-submission (Warsaw) |
|---|---|---|
| Direct Cost | $270 (fixed) ≈ ₴11 205 (ref.) | From Ukraine (if permitted to travel): $450+ (travel, hotel, consular fees) From EU (Spain, Germany, Italy, etc.): ~$150 (local consular fees) |
| Time Invested | 15 Minutes (Digital form) | 4–5 Full Days (Travel & queues) |
| Logistics | Turnkey prep & remote submission | Flights, hotel bookings, Warsaw queue |
| Risk Factor | Under 2% (Pre-screened docs) | High (Any minor error forces repeat trip) |

- Using the outdated paper Form V.2013 instead of the online COVA system at cova.cs.mfa.gov.cn
- Wearing white clothing on a white photo background — considered a technical defect by the consulate
- Using invitation letters from unverified Telegram intermediaries — high refusal risk
- Mismatched dates between the COVA form and the invitation letter
- Booking single-entry but planning to visit Hong Kong or Macau during the same trip
- Applying too late — less than 4 weeks before departure without buffer for courier shipping
