What is required to obtain an M visa?

To obtain an M visa you will need:

  • An original passport valid for at least six months
  • Two photos 4.5cm*3.5cm with a blue background
  • An invitation letter from a trade fair such as Canton Fair or from a Chinese firm (in the event that you get your visa through a Chinese agency, it’s possible that they will be the ones to procure the letter for you)
  • A copy of the Chinese firm’s business license
  • A business card with your company’s name and contact information (telephone, email, etc)

The invitation letter should contain your information (name, date of birth, etc), details about your trip (purpose of your visit, dates of arrival and departure, where you will be visiting, etc) and information about the firm that granted you the invitation letter.

If you intend to apply for – in Hong Kong, – a visa that will permit you to stay in China for six months or more, you will also have to meet the following criteria:

  • Your passport must contain at least two Chinese visas issued outside of Chinese territory (those visas have a green background instead of blue or gray)
  • Among your last three Chinese visas, one of them must have been issued in your country

Where can I apply for an M visa?

Generally speaking, you should apply at the Chinese Embassy or Consulate in your own country (here you’ll find a complete list), especially when it comes down to work and student visas.
