1.
Entries
This refers to the number of entries the visa holder
is permitted to enter China. When all entries permitted
are used up, the visa will not be valid any more.
When there is still entry unused, but the validity
of entry runs out, the visa is not valid either. In
either case, the visa holder should apply for another
visa before they go to China.
2. The validity of
visa (Enter before)
Before the entries are used up, the
visa holder can enter China any day within the validity
of the visa. The visa holder is allowed to enter China
before 24:00 the day it expires. A single or double
entry visa is usually valid for entry within 3 months
from the date of issue. The multi-entry visas are
of three categories, which are valid for six months,
one year and two years respectively.
3. Duration of each stay after
entry
This refers to the longest period
of time the visa holder can stay in China from arrival
each time and is not related to the validity of visa.
If the visa holder needs to stay longer than the duration
of stay, he or she should apply for extension of duration
to the local public security bureau of China in advance.
4. Additional Notes
Tourist visa's normally have a 30-day
limitation, meaning you must leave China for a least
one-minute on the 30th day, before re-entering the
Mainland. Going to Hong Kong or Macao is acceptable
practice
The duration of each stay on X, Z, D,
or J-1 visa is a specified number of days. Those visa
holders should go through the procedure for obtaining
residence permit in the local public security bureau
of China within 30 days from the date of entry. (Your
