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, 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.
Key requirements

Visa sub-types & validity parameters
Category 01
Single (1×)
One entry, stay up to 30 days. Best for a single Canton Fair session or supplier visit.
Category 02
Double (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 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
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) |
Risk Mitigation
6 visa refusal causes & our expert solutions
Cause 01
The consulate issues the wrong visa type due to wording in the invitation
Solution
We check the invitation before submission, point out errors to the client/Chinese partner, and recommend edits based on real cases
Cause 02
The invitation was obtained from unverified intermediaries on Telegram or other unofficial sources
Solution
We work only with licensed Chinese companies and verified partners who bear legal responsibility for the invitation
Cause 03
Mismatch of dates, routes, or personal data between the COVA form and the invitation
Solution
We carry out a multi-level check of all documents before submission to rule out any discrepancies
Cause 04
The route includes Hong Kong or Macao during a trip on a single-entry visa
Solution
We analyze the route in advance and recommend the correct visa type or an adjustment to the travel plan
Cause 05
The photo does not meet the consulate's technical requirements (poor background, clothing, lighting, or file format)
Solution
We provide detailed photo instructions and check the image before submitting documents
Cause 06
Submitting documents less than a week before departure, with no time reserve for processing and logistics
Solution
We recommend submitting documents at least 3 weeks before the trip and warn about risks and timelines at the consultation stage

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
