Good to know
The China visa in practice
When does a Finnish traveller need a China visa?
On a Finnish passport, short tourist trips to China are currently visa-free, which covers an ordinary holiday. A visa is still required for working, longer stays and most business situations, and always if you travel on another country's passport.
The visa-free conditions and durations can change, so we always verify the situation at the time of application. If your case is unclear, tell us the purpose and length of your trip. We'll tell you straight whether you need a visa or not.
Business visas and invitations
China's business and work visas almost always require an invitation from a Chinese party, and its form and content are strictly defined. A deficient invitation is the most common cause of processing delays.
We handle the visa-centre process on your behalf and check the invitation's validity in advance. In urgent cases, rush processing completes in about 2 working days.
