Tourist Visa from Nigeria to China
- This is the type of visa issued to those who intend to visit China for tourism or to see their family.
- Single-entry, double-entry or multiple-entry are all available for tourists.
- The duration of stay (each visit) is normally 30-60 days.
- The basic requirements listed above were once usually enough. However, since July 2013, you are also required to provide a copy of your return trip plane ticket to China and a copy of a Chinese hotel booking for the whole duration of your stay containing the full names of all the people that are applying for the Visa.
- If you intend to stay at your friend or relative’s house, you won't need to book a hotel. However, your friend/relative will have to send an invitation letter to you.
- The most common tourist visa is the Single Entry Tourist Visa (that is, you cannot leave China and then enter again with the same visa) which has a validity of between 30 days.
- The Double Entry Tourist Visa (2 entries, 30 days each) is also common.
- Note that, despite the visa lasting for than 10 years, this does not mean that you can remain in China for 10 consecutive years.
- Each time you enter China, you can stay for a period between 30 and 60 days (the length of each visit can vary, the Chinese Consulate will decide).
- Overstaying is an offense. Be very careful to leave China before your visa expires (which can be between 30 or 60 days).
