China is one of the oldest civilizations in the world and one of the most beautiful countries. All Indians travelling to China must obtain a China Visa in advance. Whilethe Chinese authorities have made great strides towards making it easy for Indians to come to China for work, visit, or do business, the average applicant is unaware of the visa rules and requirements. Below are the details you need to know before applying for China Visa

While applying for a China visa for Indians, oneneeds to have the following documents:

Typically, your China visa will grant you a single, double, or multiple entry facility:

1. Single Entry: You may enter China only once within the validity period.
2. Double Entry: You may enter China, leave once, and re-enter another single time. Following the second entry, you may not enter China again and you willneed to apply for a fresh visa.
3. Multiple Entry: You may enter and exit China as many times as you like, although you may be bound by entry periods of 30-day increments (30, 60, 90, 180). This means that you must exit china every time you reach this number of days in your stay.

• For instance, if you have a multiple entry visa with a 30-day stay limit, then you must exit China every 30 days.

If you have a single or double entry visa and you use up your final exit while the visa is still valid, then you will have to gain a new visa regardless, thus invalidating your old visa and requiring you to go through the application process again.
