A visa is required for People’s Republic of China, but the time of writing, visas were not required for most Western nationals to visit Hong Kong or Macau. If you visit Hong Kong or Macau from China, you will need to be on a double entry visa or apply for another visa to re-entry China.
For most travelers, the type of visa is ‘L’, from the Chinese word for travel. This letter is stamped right on the visa. The usual length of stay for an ‘L’ visa is 30 days. Working, student and business visas generally require a letter of invitation from a host unit in China. HIV- negative tests will be required from teachers and students planning to live in China for more than nine months.
Visas are readily available from Chinese embassies and consulates in most other countries. A standard 30-day, single entry visa from most Chinese embassies abroad can be issued in four working days, but can take longer; for a extra fee, there should be an express same day or next day service.
