China Visit Visa from Pakistan

China L (tourist) / F (business) visa — overview

China’s L visa covers tourism and family visits, while the F visa suits business meetings and exchanges. An invitation letter from a Chinese host is normally part of the file for family or business visits.

Who can apply?

• Tourism (L visa)
• Visiting family or friends (S/L)
• Business meetings and trade fairs (F visa)
• Short exchanges

Refusals commonly involve missing invitations or inconsistent itineraries and financial documents.
