Hello Sophie. Thank you very much for the excellent and easy to understand video. I know a lot of research and time goes into creating such videos, so thanks once again. I hope you will be able to answer my questions. I am an American citizen and I am planning to visit China for a month in January 2024. I have a couple of friends in Beijing with whom I had had a heated discussion on WeChat about a week ago regarding Chinese politics. You know very well (and I am sure the entire world knows) that the ridiculous 1958 "Great Leap Forward" movement of Mao Zedong (Chairman Mao, also known as the Butcher of China) had resulted in a severe famine and about 50 Million Chinese died. Still, the Chinese Communist Party has hung Chaiman Mao's picture on Tiananmen Square in Beijing. I had said in my WeChat chats that hanging Mao's picture and glorifying him (despite the fact that he was solely responsible for the death of 50 M Chinese between 1958-1962) is exactly same as the Germans hanging Hitler's picture on the Berlin Wall. I had also posted Mao's picture and exact same comment on my WeChat Moments. My Chinese friends were speechless because of my comment and they hurriedly blocked me on WeChat. My questions: Please tell me if I travel to China, will the Chinese police arrest me in Beijing because of my comments against Charman Mao (which they all revere, apparently)? Is it safe for me to travel to China? Does the Communist Party of China has the means to monitor chats that are agaisnt them and Mao? Will I be even granted a Chinese visa? I am asking you these questions because you are Chinese and you very well understand the Chinese politics, and CPC's mindset. Please try to answer my questions truthfully and honestly. Thank you very much! 🙏
Hello Sophie. May I know why you are not answering my questions? Are you scared of the Chinese communists and that's why you are avoiding to asnwer my questions? If yes, please say so honestly so I will not follow up with you in the future. Thanks so much!
Hi, thank you! I respect everyone’s different opinions and I’m not avoiding any questions, sometimes I can’t keep up with all the questions and yours didn’t pop up in my YT Studio, my apologies :). If you’re planning to go to China, be really careful with these (extreme) opinions in public, since these are sensitive topics in China. You can watch my other video with the practical tips that you need to consider before going. The video is linked below this video. Good luck 😊
St kitts and Nevis don’t have a visa center so I can get my visa but where should I go to. To get my visa for china in which country and if I get through my visa application which visa center just I go get it ? Can help me here please reply my message
Thank you very much for the detailed video. In my case I attached the hotel booking confirmation in lieu of the invitation letter. It worked just fine.
sori but wanted to be clear, when you say confirmed, means paid or just booked but not paid, coz if the visa is not approved then would be a loss? @@romitkatdare
Napakabuti na sa wakas ay hindi ko na kailangan pang maghanap ng maaasahan at mapagkakatiwalaang ahente ng visa dahil nakuha ko na ang pinakamahusay ngayon. Salamat Mr. Marcus Magee sa pagiging napakagandang tao. Natanggap ko ang aking M visa na may mga ngiti, ginawa mo ang isang mahusay na trabaho para sa akin.
Friendly reminder: While the content provided in the video is undoubtedly helpful, it's essential to note that it does not apply to applicants in the U.S.
@@om3ga85 You need a visa to enter the country, I know there’s a way to obtain a visa for American’s it’s just tough and idk how to. There’s a “round-about” way of entering China. Such as entering China as a 2nd country. So you must visit a country other than your home-land first, China and then return to a 3rd country
That's incorrect. US citizens do still need an invitation letter if you're applying for Q1 or Q2 visa to visit family us.china-embassy.gov.cn/eng/zytz/202206/t20220614_10702581.htm
Such a well researched and presented video Sophie! Glad I found your channel, I've found great value in this particular video as I'm looking at the possibility of a trip to Shanghai and Hanzou around November. Being a British citizen I'll need to apply for a visa. Thanks for sharing - you've earned yourself a new subscriber. Greetings from the UK. 🙂
I’ve applied for L visa without invitation letter. You need to submit hotel & flight bookings (including transfer between cities) & show them the complete itinerary. All your information shall be sent for registration with the local police.
Did you really book all flights? Or it’s enough to show some potential flights you would like to take? I’m asking because in case I don’t get the visa approval
Awesome video, very helpful! Please make more content! Question, when I try to access the website, I don't see an option for America/United States. Do you have a site you'd recommend to use?
I really appreciate this video, but I think it could be made a lot better. Really most of what you're doing is reading a website which we can do ourselves.
Hi i have questions like I wanted to get chinese visa and my boyfriend who is (chinese) and he will be the one paying for my trip. Can i ask what documents I need to prepare?
Hey Sophie, thank you so much for this incredible video! I have a question, if you happen to know anything about it: if I wanted to move around different cities and change hotels, should I put all of them in the visa application or just the first in which I will be arriving in on the first day will be sufficient? Thanks!!
Hello! Thank u ☺️ I understand what you mean. What I do is: I always put the address of my first destination so they can see where I’m staying after landing at that city. After that, it depends on how you travel to the other places you visit. If it’s all by plane and you gave the info about those flights already, I’d give those addresses as well. But if it’s for example by train or another transport that you didn’t share with them, I don’t think it’s super necessary to share all the places to save yourself some time. That’s how I usually do it. Hope this is a bit clear for you!
You got multiple entry visa, how long can you stay in china in single entry? Looks visa fee 126.55 euro , not cheap. Can you tell why you naturalised and what benefits are in netherland?@@sophieandthemoon
this video has been such a great help! I do have one question, at the section where you have to choose the reason why you are visiting china, I'm kinda lost there which one I should choose. My boyfriend (whom is Chinese and lives with me here in the Netherlands) has family (his parents) in China and we want to visit them next year, I have to apply for a visa since I'm not Chinese but I'm dutch. So we are going to visit his parents there, which should I choose? Q1, Q2, S1 or S2? I'm really stuck with the whole process and it's getting kinda annoying lol
Hi, if you're visiting your Chinese bf's family in China, you might consider L visa, which is a tourist visa. Neither one of the Q visa categories will suit you bc you two are only in a gf/bf relationship, and Q visa is basically for those who have family members in China and visit China for family reunion purposes. Hope you have a nice trip!
@@qquine8754 that's what I thought, but the thing is, if I apply for tourist visa I have to show them that I have booked a hotel, but I'm staying at his family's house🥲 might have to call the visa application centre to ask about this then. But thank you for your advice!
Hi Sophie! I reside in NYC but when I go on the Chinese Application website for the Visa, for some reason It is defaulted to “Brussel” on the Visa Center. I am unable to find USA when I try to look for Other Centers. I was wondering if this is a common problem? I also contacted the website as well for further help.
I have a question. Maybe somebody can answer quick I go to Hong Kong all the time, but I've never been into mainland China My wife goes into main land China to visit factories (she's in product development).... So she has a travel agent that usually gets her visa for her a long time in advance I know that you can get a one-day travel visa, but that's just for traveling through and you have to stay in the area of the train station or the airport. Is there a way to get a 24-hour travel visa into mainland from Hong Kong while I'm there?. Or do I just need to get a regular visa months in advance? I'm looking at going with my wife on a trip, we would stay in Hong Kong for a week, and then I'd like to go in just for the day via train from Hong Kong to Shenzen
Yes, you can get a 24, 72 or 144 hours transit visa exemption in different cities in China. See us.china-embassy.gov.cn/lsfw/zj/qz/202407/t20240705_11449039.htm
Question: We live in Texas and the embassy with the jurisdiction is in Washington DC. And we have 3 people in the family needing to get visas. Can 1 family member or friend bring in all 3 applications with completed application forms, documents and passports?
Hi good question! It’s possible if the other 2 family members give consent to the person who’s going to the embassy. You can see in my video how to do this. Good luck! 😊
I saw what you did for me agent Marcus, and now I've got back my tourist visa. You've always been the best man for this china visa application job and I feel very secured each time I request for your services. You're also a very kind man, also reliable and trustworthy, which is the more reason why I recommend you to everyone here who's in need of a genuine visa officer to help them get through all their Chinese visa challenges.
Hi, im going to Shanghai for 5 nights, then Japan for 2 nights; and then flying back to Australia. My return flight however has a short 1 hour stopover back in Shanghai... I put down "single entry" on the visa application; will this be ok? As im only stopping in China for transit.
Officially they want a photo from within six months, but I think it’s okay as long as you look like yourself on the photo. So if you’re looking different now, I’d recommend to make a new one just to be sure!
This has to be the most expensive Visa in the world… have to pay for 2 plane tickets to go apply and then receive the visa and passport plus the cost of the ticket to travel to China and the accommodations there ! Crazy! I wish there was a simpler method 😢
@@bobby1970 yes, tourist visa. I submitted my return flight tickets, my friend's Chinese ID, list of hotels and booking confirmation. Also have tried the 144-hour visa free transit earlier this year with just return flight tickets and hotel booking confirmation
Hi, I googled it for you and got this: "Travelers are allowed to take up to US$5000 equivalent of foreign currency or 20 000 RMB of local currency in cash in or out of the country. This applies to both foreigners and Chinese nationals. If the amount does not exceed this limit, one will not be required to declare this to customs." As far as I know you can use it in trains but ask them beforehand just to be sure because things could change. Good luck!
I think you need to apply for a tourist visa indeed. I don’t think you can apply for a family visit visa if you’re not married, but she could write you the invitation letter. Good luck! 😊
Hello :) Thank you for your video, it’s hard getting comprehensive information about Chinese visa application. 😂 I think for tourist visa it is possible that you give your hotel bookings, flight documents, travel initary and then you don’t need an invitation letter.
Good question, I only have experience in the Netherlands but I usually take around one month time to apply, request and receive my passport and visa so I don’t have time pressure. Good luck!
Hi! Ik zou er vanuit gaan dat de meeste Westerse apps niet in China werken. Toen ik naar China ging werkte helemaal niets op mijn telefoon, maar bij anderen soms weer wel dus het is altijd een beetje vaag.. Dus alle apps in je bericht hoogstwaarschijnlijk niet.
I want to go to china next my spouses is there So I need a passport and visa Application that number one (1) Number 2 : I need a passport picture right Number 3 : I need a person information letter Number 4 : and Chinese ID Wonder how will I gonna get a Chinese ID 😢 OR An employee statement 😢 Hopefully I can make it to china next year to be with my spouse 😭 I’m so scared 😟 hopefully I can make it to china next year Question I’m living in st kitts and Nevis actually Nevis will I get my number too for my application or I have to go to Antigua and Barbuda to do it can you reply me please 😢 I want to get my china visa quickly next year I hope I’m nervous and scared first time going to china
I want to go to China for tourism it was my childhood dream to see China 🇨🇳 😭 but I'm iraqi and I don't know anyone in China so how can I get Chinese invitation letter and his id 😭
Hi, that’s so cool that you want to visit China! I think it’s definitely possible in some way without an invitation letter, as there are many tourists coming to China as well. Maybe ask the embassy how to get a visa as a tourist :)
HI. Last wednesday i was suppose to fly to the visa office in toronto canada to apply for the z visa.However my flight was delayed for several hours , and I couldnt make the appointment time.Tried cancelling the meeting time via email and cell phone but didnt get thru. When i tried to make a new apointmen t the system said i have to wait twenty days cause i didnt show up to the previous meeting. I tried email and calling ....no answer. Any idea how i canget an appointment time asap. My teaching jobstarts Sept1.Need to be in china before sept 1.can any one help
I have only given name in my passport.. thn wt to write in last name/surname option. I m applying M-type buisness visa , so need this guidance for invitation letter & visa form
@@Omotolajireh use dummy ticket , no need to book tickets for visa . If u r applying business Visa M-type , need of flight ticket or bank statement in that case.
Almost all Chinese women are extremely attractive, especially this one in the video. I want to marry a Chinese woman, if I can find one that will accept me? I'm 53, so I hope to find one about my age or maybe younger.
@@gangcheng-uf3bdThank goodness, but you never know when they're going to start requiring it again, especially with this new strain of Covid going on.
Can I take my ivitation letter scanned wih the signature in it?, so they don't have to send it all the way from China? The thing is my daughter's dad is chinese, but because of distance and the pqndemic we haven't been able to registere her under his name, so I guess we have to apply for a tourist visa until we can prove she is his child. But he will write the invitation letter, I was just wondering if it had to be the original one or it can be scanned and printed? Thanks in advanced.
Great question! My father just send me the scanned version with his signature and it’s fine. You don’t need to have ‘the real signature version’ received my post from China. Just make sure all the info is in the letter and maybe also the birth certificate of your daughter with both of you in it as parents so they’ll know he’s the father? Good luck!

This applies to both foreigners and Chinese nationals. If the amount does not exceed this limit, one will not be required to declare this to customs."

How long does it take to receive back your passport if you are applying from UK?
Good question, I only have experience in the Netherlands but I usually take around one month time to apply, request and receive my passport and visa so I don’t have time pressure. Good luck!
Does China still offer 10 years visa for US citizens?
Probably not, relations haven’t been that welcoming lately…
Hi Sophie! Ik wilde graag vragen wat voor apps wel en niet werken in China. (Google maps, whatsapp, ABN Amro, ING, Gmail, etc.)
Hi! Ik zou er vanuit gaan dat de meeste Westerse apps niet in China werken. Toen ik naar China ging werkte helemaal niets op mijn telefoon, maar bij anderen soms weer wel dus het is altijd een beetje vaag.. Dus alle apps in je bericht hoogstwaarschijnlijk niet.

I want to go to China for tourism it was my childhood dream to see China 🇨🇳 😭 but I'm iraqi and I don't know anyone in China so how can I get Chinese invitation letter and his id 😭
Also I'm a resident doctor in iraq is there any supportive documents I can add to get the visa?
Hi, that’s so cool that you want to visit China! I think it’s definitely possible in some way without an invitation letter, as there are many tourists coming to China as well. Maybe ask the embassy how to get a visa as a tourist :)

I am facing the same problem. Did you succeed?
How much does it cost?
Depends on the type of visa, I think I paid around 200-300$
Any advice on starting a business in China
No sorry.. no idea 😅
Probably extremely difficult, if not impossible, especially if you're from the United States. Probably not even worth trying.
I have only given name in my passport.. thn wt to write in last name/surname option. I m applying M-type buisness visa , so need this guidance for invitation letter & visa form
Hi,I’m visiting china soon,did you booked and paid for your ticket for the visa processing?
@@Omotolajireh use dummy ticket , no need to book tickets for visa . If u r applying business Visa M-type , need of flight ticket or bank statement in that case.
Pls do you have a link for that?
Basically, it's impossible.
medical is required?
how long does the visa take?
I’d recommend taking at least a month to apply for the Visa, but you can already start applying maximum 3 months before. Good luck!
This video does not apply to citizens of USA as of April 2024.
That was a long intro! People clicked the video to know the steps. But it took more than two minutes to get the steps started.
Didn’t mean to upset you! Just wanted to have a moment of gratitude 😊
Is it possible for single person to get China multiple entries visa
You can get multiple entries, yes! You’ll have to request this during the Visa application process process.
@sophiellune are you processing for China visa
You are too beautiful.i cannot see such kind of beautiness in my life
That’s very sweet thank you ❤️
Almost all Chinese women are extremely attractive, especially this one in the video. I want to marry a Chinese woman, if I can find one that will accept me? I'm 53, so I hope to find one about my age or maybe younger.
How to apply for master degree job in china for Pakistani
I love to visit China any help lik invitation pls
I want to go to china in October on a tourist visa but dont know anyone with a chinese passport who can write me an invitation letter :/
if you book with a tour company they will send you an invitation letter. I am going through that right now.
@@susanxlu9012I wonder how far in advance are you allowed to get an invitation letter, and how long is it valid for, after you get it?
China still requires Covid-19 Vaccine?
no
@@gangcheng-uf3bdThank goodness, but you never know when they're going to start requiring it again, especially with this new strain of Covid going on.
Can I take my ivitation letter scanned wih the signature in it?, so they don't have to send it all the way from China?
The thing is my daughter's dad is chinese, but because of distance and the pqndemic we haven't been able to registere her under his name, so I guess we have to apply for a tourist visa until we can prove she is his child. But he will write the invitation letter, I was just wondering if it had to be the original one or it can be scanned and printed?
Thanks in advanced.
Great question! My father just send me the scanned version with his signature and it’s fine. You don’t need to have ‘the real signature version’ received my post from China. Just make sure all the info is in the letter and maybe also the birth certificate of your daughter with both of you in it as parents so they’ll know he’s the father? Good luck!

"Easily".. 🤣 I am helping someone with UK passport apply for a visa and I have never seen a more extensive application process for anything in my life
I heard horror stories about applying visa to China .
Yea.. it’s also not my favourite thing to do but it’s definitely worth it so I can see my family 😊
