For business visas, applicants will no longer need to present detailed flight and hotel itineraries as part of their application. You will also no longer need to submit a China offical Invitation Letter for business visa or Chinese official Invitation Letter to business visa from an authorized Chinese government agency (such as the Foreign Affairs Office of a local city or province). An invitation from a Chinese company or from the Chinese office of an international company is still required.
The official business invitation letter should be issued by government agency. If the invitation is from or on behalf of an international company with affiliates in China, it should be issued by the Chinese office of that company. In the pandemic, the rules are changed. We can only process offical business invitation letter in Beijing.
