BEIJING (Reuters) – Beijing authorities will facilitate eligible business travellers with visa applications, with a letter provided to organisations inviting them to the Chinese capital, the city’s foreign affairs office said on Saturday.
The visitors must receive the invitation letter from qualified Chinese enterprises registered in Beijing to apply for the visa, the office said in a statement.
The visa grants eligible foreigners travelling frequently to Beijing for trade and commercial activities a 180-day stay per trip on a five-year multiple-entry business visa.
The visa programme may benefit their spouses and children too.
