If you are a foreign national visiting China for tourism, business, or to visit relatives, please consult with our firm for applying for a tourist L visa, business M visa, or relative visit Q visa. For Japanese nationals, if your trip is for 15 days or less, the visa exemption measure will apply and you will not need to obtain a visa, but for nationals of countries that do not have visa exemption measures, you will still need to apply for a visa.

Our office fee

 

Tourist VISA, Business VISA 100,000 yen (excluding tax)

Visa for Visiting Relatives 150,000 yen (excluding tax)

*You will be responsible for paying visa application fees paid to the visa application center or embassy/consulate when you receive the visa.

Process of request

Once we receive your formal request, we will issue you an invoice, so please pay in advance. After confirming the transfer, we will begin work. Please fill out the hearing list in the Excel sheet created by our office and reply. In addition, please send your face photo data and passport image (page with passport number, expiration date, etc.) via email or LINE. In the case of a business visa, you will also be required to send an invitation PDF in addition to these documents. If the form is in Japanese, our office can prepare it for you.

 

About the interview

The advance reservation system for interview dates has been abolished, so you can go directly to each Chinese visa application center or Chinese consulate general on a convenient day on weekdays for an interview after preparing your application form.

​Why do you need to apply for a visa?

For Japanese citizens, if you are traveling for 15 days or less, you are exempt from visa requirements and do not need to obtain a visa, but for citizens of countries that are not covered by the visa exemption measures, you will still need to apply for a visa.

Application method (outline)

Our office will handle the following 1 and 2 on your behalf. Items 3 and 4 must be handled by the person in question. Please keep this in mind.

  1. Go to the China Visa Application Center website

  2. Upload your photo and enter your declaration details online

  3. The applicant himself/herself goes to the Chinese Visa Application Center or the respective Chinese Consulate General and undergoes an interview and examination.

  4. After 4 business days, your visa will be issued and you can receive it. At this time, the applicant pays the visa issuance fee to the visa application center or embassy/consulate.

Reasons why applying for a visa is difficult

  • If your face photo does not meet the standards, it will be rejected and you will not be able to upload it.

  • There are a large number of input items, including personal information, family information, information about where you are staying, etc.

  • There are some places where you can only enter kanji, some places where you can't enter kana, and some places where you can only enter Roman characters.

  • It is quite complicated as there are surprisingly many documents to bring to the interview.
