What Information Is on a Visa to Go to China From the United States?

The Chinese government requires a valid passport and visa for all U.S. citizens wanting to enter the country. A visa must be obtained through Chinese embassies or consulates. They cannot be acquired upon arrival.

Identification
The Chinese visa is a stamp or endorsement on the passport made by government officials. It allows the traveler in possession of it to enter the country.

Types
There are eight types of visas, including tourist, business and student visas. The application for each can vary.

Submitting the Visa Application
The Chinese government requires visa applications be made in person. A friend, relative or travel/visa agent can also be utilized.

Other Requirements
Visa applicants must have six months of validity remaining on their passport and at least one blank page. The visa application, a recent 2-inch by 2-inch photo and all applicable fees must be submitted as well.

Exceptions
Individuals traveling through China with an expectation of remaining there less than 24 hours are exempt from requiring a visa provided they do not leave the airport. Also, U.S. citizens are exempt from the visa requirement when traveling to Hong Kong and staying for fewer than 90 days.
