ADJUST THE LATEST CHINESE VISA STAY
In order to ensure the accuracy of information and help partners, agents and customers take the initiative in making travel plans, Joy Travel please be informed of important updates related to china visa term of stay review policy from the Consular Authority.
1. Significant changes in the policy on granting the period of stay
In the past, when issued a Tourist (L) Visa or a Business (M) Visa, visitors often defaulted to receiving 15 days stay per entry.
However, according to the latest update from the Chinese Embassy/Consulate:
Default tier no longer applies: The length of stay will be flexibly reviewed by the Consular Section based on the individual's actual records, travel schedule and purpose of travel.
Length of stay may be shortened: Tourist (L) or business (M) visas instead of 15 days may be adjusted down to 9 days, 7 days, or even 5 days (as actual photo of recently issued visa).
2. Instructions for reading the parameters on Visa to avoid violations
Upon receipt of the visa results, you and your agent need to immediately check the item Duration of Each Stay to determine the exact number of days allowed to stay in China:
Category (Visa type): Visa type symbols (L - Tourism, M - Commerce...).
Duration of Each Stay: It is necessary to carefully compare the actual number granted (eg: .007 Aligning with 07 days staytoo).
Enter Before: The last day the visa is valid for entry procedures.
Note: Days of stay calculated starting from Next Day after the date of entry into China.
3. Recommendations for Customers and Agency Partners
To avoid unexpected risks such as overstay, air ticket change costs, or impact on business/travel schedules, Joy Travel Recommendation:
Proactively double-check Visa as soon as the results are received: Reconfirm the actual length of stay on the visa stamp before proceeding to issue air tickets or book hotel services.
Develop an appropriate schedule: Book round-trip air tickets and hotel rooms close to the actual estimated time, avoiding reservations that are too long for the length of stay that may be granted.
Advise transparently to customers: Agents need to clearly discuss with customers about the possibility of the Consular Office adjusting the number of days of stay for customers to understand the information and take the initiative in the contingency plan.
