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, Double, or Multi (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.

Visa sub-types & validity parameters
Single (1×)
One entry, stay up to 30 days. Best for a single Canton Fair session or supplier visit.
Double (2×)
Two entries within 6 months — covers spring and autumn Canton Fair sessions back-to-back.
Multi (1 Year)
Unlimited entries for 12 months, up to 60 days per stay. Best ROI for regular buyers and sourcing agents.
Please remember that exiting mainland China into Hong Kong or Macau is legally treated as crossing an international border. If you hold a Single 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 or Multi visa.

The Cost of Efficiency
Why top-tier professionals and corporate travelers choose China2day over the physical Warsaw Poland DIY submission approach.
| Comparison factors | China2day | 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) | 6–7 Days (Travel & queues) |
| Logistics | Turnkey prep & remote submission | Getting there (train, bus, car), bookings, Warsaw queue |
| Risk Factor | ~1% (Pre-screened docs) | High (Any minor error forces repeat trip) |

Common DIY application mistakes
Ensure you avoid these critical paperwork issues to guarantee approval:
- Using the outdated paper Form V.2013 instead of the online COVA system at cova.cs.mfa.gov.cn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
