China Business / Visit Visa
for Pakistani Nationals

China is an attractive destination for Pakistani business entities, dealers, distributors, importers & exporters, manufacturers, students, tourists, and family visitors. As there are strong relations between Pakistan and China, thousands of Pakistani nationals travel annually to cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Yiwu. Pakistani citizens/passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to China for vacations, business purposes, family visits, education, or employment. Many applicants from Multan, Islamabad and Rawalpindi prefer expert visa assistance to avoid documentation errors and delays.
