Tourist Visa

The Tourist Visa, also known as the L Visa, is intended for individuals who wish to visit China for leisure, sightseeing, or to spend time with friends and family. This visa typically allows a stay ranging from 30 to 90 days, depending on the applicant’s nationality and the specific entry permit issued. In some cases, it may be granted for single, double, or multiple entries within its validity period.

Applicants are generally required to provide proof of travel arrangements, such as flight bookings, hotel reservations, or an invitation letter from a host residing in China. The Tourist Visa does not permit employment or study activities, as it is strictly designed for short-term, non-commercial visits.

Business Visa

The M Visa is issued to individuals traveling to China for commercial and trade-related activities. This visa is suitable for those attending business meetings, negotiations, exhibitions, or other professional engagements. Depending on the applicant’s profile and supporting documents, the visa may be granted for single, double, or multiple entries, with each stay typically ranging from 30 to 90 days.

Applicants are generally required to provide an invitation letter from a Chinese business partner or organization, along with other supporting documents that confirm the purpose of travel. The Business Visa is strictly limited to non-employment activities and does not authorize long-term work or residence in China.

I am Filipino. Do I need a visa to enter China?

Filipino citizens are required to obtain a visa before traveling to China, whether for tourism, business, study, or other purposes.

The only exceptions are:

Short-term visits to Hong Kong or Macau, which have different entry policies and allow Filipinos limited visa-free stays.

Do I need a visa even if I am just transiting Korea?

Certain cases of direct transit through mainland China, where a visa-free transit policy may apply (usually for 24, 72, or 144 hours in designated cities).

But it’s always better to confirm direclty with the Korea Embassy of your country.

I am not Filipino. Can I apply for a visa in Japan?

The Embassy and all Consulates accept applications from all people who ordinarily reside in Japan (Filipino and foreigners). If you are not Filipino, but your usual residence is in Japan, you must follow the same process as Filipinos and apply for the visa.

If, however, you are a foreign national who does not reside in Japan and plan to apply for a visa during your visit to Japan, we recommend that you apply for your visa in your country of origin or your country of usual residence. If you decide to apply for your visa in Japan, please note that there is no guarantee that your visa will be approved, as consular authorities may find themselves in a position where they will not be able to properly assess your application.

Do I need to show my airline ticket when applying for a visa?

Yes. In most cases, airline tickets (or confirmed flight itineraries) are required when applying for a Chinese visa, especially for a Tourist Visa (L Visa).

For most Filipino applicants, a personal interview is not required when applying for a South Korea tourist visa.
