Business Visa from Kenya to China
Business Visa from Kenya to China Description
Business visa (M visa) is issued to those who intend to go to China for commercial and trade activities.
Foreigners in the country on this visa for business may negotiate and sign contracts with their business partners.
Business travelers are free to attend conferences, business summits, and trade fairs while they are in the country.
China M and F visa could be confusing to foreign visitors:
M visa - business and trade
F visa - non-commercial visits
In 2013, the original F visa got divided into two categories: the M and F visa.
The M visa is for business and trade, while the F visa now applies to noncommercial travels.
The F visa is issued to foreigners who are invited to conduct a lecture, an investigation, scientific and cultural exchanges, study tours and other non-business activities in China
The duration of stay for the F visa is 30 days, which means you can stay for up to 30 days from the date of entry.
The validity period of the China M visa is three months (90 days) in most cases for Kenyans.
Just like the tourist visa, the M visa can be issued for single-entry, double-entry or multiple-entry.
The extension of visa stay varies with individual circumstances but it’s always granted at the discretion of the C hinese embassy.
A letter from your employer stating the awareness and allowance of your business leave. The letter should have the date of terms of your employment, how long you have been employed and the duration of your leave.
