    • Recent bank statement

  • Invitation letter from a Chinese company (M visa) or Chinese organization (F visa)

📄 Additional Documents (If Applicable)

You must also provide the following if they apply to your situation:

  • Copy of your most recent Chinese visa

  • Bio data page of the passport that contained your most recent China visa (required only if that visa is in a different passport than the one you are currently using)

  • Copy of U.S. visa or front and back of U.S. green card (for non-U.S. passport holders)

  • Passport of second nationality (for dual citizens)

⚠️ Important Notes

  • These are standard requirements only — your specific situation may require additional documents

  • Additional documents may be required depending on how you answer the visa questionnaire

  • The consulate may request further documentation during processing

  • All information must match your passport exactly
