Hi there,
a friend of mine is asking me about Chinese visa and I've no idea at all. How many kinds of Chinese visas? What's the different? How to apply for it? Thanks for any input and I will also check other thread in the forum.

BTW, he's a Dane.

I've read some materials before and it said that there are eight kinds of common visa:

D visa is for those who come to live in China.
Z visa is for those who come to work in China and their consorts.
X for those who come to study in China.
F for those who are invited to visit, give lectures, do business, exchange the culture and science and technology, etc.
L for those who come to travel China, visit the relatives and other private reasons.
G for those who pass through the territory of China.
C for those passengers on the international air planes, ships, trains, etc.
J-1 for journalists who stay in China for a long term.
J-2 for journalists who come to China temporarily.

Yes there are many visa types. Look for my thread where I explained quite a bit based on my experiences and those of acquaintances

He's working for a newspaper and this is his first time to travel around China and write articles back. Thanks Cali, May and Paul. I've read a lot of material and also asked him to call the Chinese embassy. And he's got detailed info from the embassy. Thanks, everyone!!
