China Business Visa

What is a China Business Visa?

The China Business Visa is issued by Chinese Embassy Bangkok for the purpose of Meetings, conferences, contract negotiation, short-term business. Holders may stay 30–180 per entry per entry; visa validity is 6–120 months. This class strictly prohibits paid employment in China; breach leads to deportation and a multi-year ban.

Most applicants in our caseload are: parents accompanying minors to study, business travelers attending conferences, spouses joining partners abroad, scholarship students, or long-term applicants pursuing Permanent Residency. We profile every applicant and match them to the visa class with the highest approval probability before filing.

Approval-rate tips for Business Visa · China

1. Demonstrate strong "ties to Thailand" — employment, property, family — to answer "why will you return?" 2. Financials must be reasonable — large lump sums deposited 1–2 days before filing trigger scrutiny; continuous 6-month history is preferred. 3. Every document must be internally consistent — dates, names, spellings, and addresses must match across the file.

4. Prior refusal — attach the original refusal letter and explain what changed (new job, marriage, asset growth). 5. Interviews (US / selected UK) — answer short, direct, truthful, no rambling. NYC provides a free 1-hour mock interview before the appointment for clients.
