China Visa Services from Thailand | Tourist L Visa, Business & Family Visit | V Goal

The L visa covers tourism in mainland China for stays typically up to 30 days per entry. Required documents include the visa form, photo, hotel and flight bookings, and a detailed itinerary. Recent visa-free trial schemes for some passports do not apply to Thai passport holders, so the L visa remains the standard route. Hong Kong and Macau are separate jurisdictions with their own entry rules.

The Q2 visa is for Thai nationals visiting Chinese citizens or permanent residents in mainland China. Typical short visits are up to 90 or 120 days per entry. The Chinese host provides an invitation letter (sometimes notarized depending on case), proof of identity or residency, and the relationship documentation. Q2 differs from Q1 (longer family residence) and L (tourism).

The M visa covers commercial and trade activities for stays typically up to 30, 60, or 90 days per entry depending on case. An invitation letter from a Chinese host company is the central document; some cases also require a duplicate invitation issued by an authorized Chinese government body. The M visa is for trade and short business activity, not employment; for working in China the Z visa applies.

While not mandatory for all China visa categories, comprehensive travel insurance covering medical emergencies and hospitalization is recommended for any China travel and required by some embassies for specific case types. We coordinate with Bangkok-based providers to bind a policy that fits the case.

Chinese visa applications can require translation of supporting documents into Chinese or English depending on the case. Marriage and family-relationship documents in particular often require certified translation. We coordinate with approved Bangkok translation providers to deliver translations that meet CVASC and consular requirements.
