Working Visa

Visitors to the Mainland of the People's Republic of China must obtain a visa from one of China embassies unless they come from one of the visa exempt countries.

The two Special Administrative Regions – Hong Kong and Macau – maintain their own independent border control policy and thus have their own visa requirements.
