People use search engines to look for information about visas and often they visit many pages before making a final decision or finding useful information. We want to present all valuable information and help to get a valid visa to China.

1. Basic term explanations

Single, double, multiple entries

Single, double, triple or multiple entry refers to the number of times a person may enter a specific country during the validity of the visa. For example a double entry visa issued for a period of 30 days (the validity) will permit the traveler to enter the country twice within that 30 day period. Single, double, triple or multiple does not refer to the number of travelers or applicants.

Passport Acceptance Facility

A Passport Acceptance Facility is a government agency, such as a Main Branch Post Office or a local Clerk of the Court, which has been given the authority by the Department of State to act on its behalf in assisting US citizens applying for passports. An agent at the Passport Acceptance Facility will check that your application is in proper order and prepare it for submission.

Visa Validity

Visa validity refers to the period of time the visa is valid for or can be used to enter the country. The period of validity can be different according to purpose and number of entries. Visa validity also varies from country to country. Most countries issue a visa whose validity begins the day the visa is issued. For example a visa with a 3 months validity would begin the day the visa was issued, January 1 and expire April 1. The traveler would only be allowed to enter during this period.
