Notes about China Business Visa
Note: The current Chinese visa is valid for 10 years from the date of issuance. Most Chinese Consulates require a minimum of 1 year remaining validity in your passport in order to get this visa. Consideration should be given to the fact that the US State Department no longer adds pages to US passport when they get low on pages, and requires you to get a new passport when filled up with stamps. If you get a visa in a passport running out of pages soon it may be prudent to renew your passport before applying for the visa. RJR can assist you with this and can have your passport issued in as little as one day.
