What is China Single Entry Visa and who is it for?

The Single Entry Visa for China is an official document that grants foreign nationals permission to enter China for a single visit. This visa is ideal for:

  • Tourists exploring China’s historical landmarks and diverse landscapes.

  • Individuals visiting family or friends residing in China.

The duration of stay permitted under a Single Entry Visa typically does not exceed 90 days. However, the exact validity period is determined based on nationality and the purpose of travel. It is advisable to confirm specific requirements with the Chinese embassy or consulate before your departure.

Other Visa Types for Your Trip to China

Multiple-Entry Visa China

A Multiple-Entry Visa to China is ideal for Indonesian citizens who travel frequently to China for business, family, or personal reasons. This visa allows you to enter and exit China multiple times within a validity period of 6 months to 5 years, depending on your travel history and supporting documents. It’s a time-saving option for professionals or long-term partners with ongoing engagements in China.

Double-Entry Visa China

The Double-Entry Visa to China permits two separate entries within a specified period, usually up to 6 months. This visa is suitable for those who plan to leave and re-enter China once during their stay—for instance, a business traveler attending separate meetings in different regions or transiting through nearby countries. Indonesian applicants must provide an itinerary and justification for multiple visits as part of the application.

Visa for Work in China

Indonesian professionals seeking employment opportunities in China must obtain a Visa for Work in China, commonly referred to as the Z Visa. This visa is mandatory for individuals hired by Chinese employers and typically requires a government-issued employment license and invitation letter from the hiring company. Upon arrival, holders must apply for a residence permit within 30 days. This visa is a gateway to formal employment and long-term stays in China.

FAQ

Does Indonesian need a visa to China?

Yes, Indonesian citizens do need a visa to enter China. For those planning a new trip to China for tourism or visiting family, a single-entry tourist visa or non-commercial visa is typically required. This visa allows entry into China for short stays and is ideal for one-time visits. It’s important to apply in advance and ensure that all documentation aligns with current Chinese immigration regulations.

Can I convert my Single-Entry Visa China to Multiple-Entry Visa China?

Unfortunately, you cannot convert a single-entry visa to a double or multiple-entry visa once it has been issued. If you plan to tour or travel to China frequently, you will need to reapply for a double or multiple-entry visa using the correct China Visa application form. Be sure to indicate your intended travel frequency and submit supporting documents that justify the need for multiple entries.

Where can I apply for a China Visa in Jakarta?

In Jakarta, you can apply for a China visa at the China Visa Application Service Center. However, many travelers choose to work with LMI Consultancy for a seamless experience, from application prep to final approval. Since the visa is generally subject to strict documentation requirements, having expert support significantly improves your chances of success—especially if it’s your first time applying.

Can I fill the visa application form online?

Yes, you can apply for a Chinese visa by filling out the application form online. After completing the form, you will still need to submit printed documents and attend an appointment at the visa center. Make sure to prepare your visa fees in advance, as payments are typically required upon document submission.
