China Visa Documents Checklist for Indian Applicants: Every Category

Every China visa category shares a common core of documents, but each one also has its own specific requirements. This checklist covers every category we assist with for China, so you can build a complete document folder before you apply — rather than the general overview in our China visa guide.

China Tourist Visa

• Valid passport
• Recent photo
• Confirmed return flight
• Proof of funds and accommodation

China Business Visa

• Valid passport
• Local company invitation letter
• Employer letter confirming role and trip

Common Mistakes That Delay a China Application

The most common issue is submitting a generic document set without the one requirement specific to your category — for example, a business visit application with no invitation letter, or a medical visa with no hospital treatment letter. Reviewers look for a complete, category-matched file, not just paperwork in general. We check your documents against the exact category you're applying for before anything is submitted.

How Visa Expertz Helps

We review your documents against China's current requirements for your specific category, flag anything missing or inconsistent, and help you prepare a complete file. Start with our China Visa page, or read the full China visa guide for categories, photo specification, and processing times.

Important: We assist with genuine short-term visitor visas only. No genuine agent can guarantee approval — final decisions rest with China's immigration/consular authorities.
