goFLY Limited — a trusted visa processing agency in Bangladesh — provides comprehensive support for China visa applications via CVASC Dhaka. Our experienced team assists with Tourist Visa (L), Business Visa (M), Student Visa (X1/X2), Family/Reunion Visa (Q1/Q2/S1/S2), and guidance for Work Visa (Z) documentation after you secure genuine employer sponsorship.
Direct job placements or sponsor work permits. China Z Visa (Work Visa) requires a Work Permit Notification Letter and Invitation Letter from a licensed Chinese employer. Any agency promising "guaranteed China work visa package" without a real job offer and valid work permit is running a scam. goFLY only assists with Z visa documentation after you have genuine employer sponsorship with proper paperwork.
We declined 50+ China visa applications in 2025 during free consultations because those cases had weak documentation or unrealistic expectations. We would rather lose the sale than take your money for a likely refusal. This honest approach has earned us 90%+ success rate on cases we accept.
Save time and reduce mistakes by using our two free AI-assisted tools:
You MUST apply through the Chinese Visa Application Service Center (CVASC) in Dhaka. The Chinese Embassy does not accept direct visa applications from regular passport holders. All applications are processed through CVASC.
China visa applications require in-person submission at CVASC Dhaka with biometric fingerprint collection for most applicants.
CVASC hours and requirements may change. Always check the official CVASC Dhaka website for current information before your visit.
| Visa Type | Purpose | Duration | Key Documents |
|---|---|---|---|
| L Visa (Tourist) | Tourism, sightseeing, visiting friends | 30-90 days per entry | Itinerary, hotel bookings, flight tickets, bank statements |
| M Visa (Business) | Commercial activities, trade fairs, business meetings | 30-90 days per entry | Invitation letter from Chinese company, business documents |
| X1 Visa (Student Long) | Study in China for more than 180 days | Course duration | Admission notice, JW201/JW202 form |
| X2 Visa (Student Short) | Study in China for up to 180 days | Up to 180 days | Admission notice or invitation from school |
| Q1 Visa (Family Long) | Family reunion, stay over 180 days | Long-term residence | Invitation, relationship proof, host's Chinese ID |
| Q2 Visa (Family Short) | Visit relatives, stay up to 180 days | Up to 180 days | Invitation letter, relationship documents |
| S1/S2 Visa (Private) | Visit spouse/parent of foreigner working/studying in China | S1: Long-term | S2: Up to 180 days | Invitation, sponsor's passport & visa copy |
| Z Visa (Work) | Employment in China | Initial entry (convert to residence permit) | Work permit notification, invitation from employer |
The L Visa (Tourist Visa) is the most common visa type for Bangladeshi travelers visiting China for tourism, sightseeing, or visiting friends. Here's the complete application process:
Book hotels that match your itinerary exactly — inconsistencies between your travel plan and hotel bookings can raise questions. Show a realistic itinerary with proper time in each city. If visiting friends, still book hotels as backup accommodation proof. First-time applicants typically receive single-entry visas; build travel history for future multi-entry applications.
| Entry Type | Validity | Stay Per Entry | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Entry | 3 months | 30 days | One-time business trip |
| Double Entry | 6 months | 30 days each | Two planned visits |
| Multiple Entry | 6 months / 1 year | 30-60 days each | Regular business travelers |
The quality of your Chinese company's invitation letter is crucial. It must have the official red company stamp (chop), detailed meeting agenda, and clear purpose. Weak invitation letters are a top rejection reason. Multiple-entry visas are easier to obtain if you have previous China business travel history.
X1 visa is an entry visa only. You must apply for a Residence Permit at the local Public Security Bureau (Exit-Entry Administration) within 30 days of entering China. Your university will guide you through this process. Do not overstay your initial entry period.
If you received a Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC), your university will provide the JW201 form. Scholarship students have simplified financial requirements as the scholarship covers tuition and living costs.
goFLY does NOT provide job placement or work permit processing. The Z visa process begins with your Chinese employer obtaining the Work Permit Notification — this takes 2-4 weeks through Chinese authorities. Only after receiving this can you apply for the Z visa. Any agency promising "work visa packages" without legitimate employment is a scam.

Yes, applicants aged 14-70 must provide fingerprints at CVASC Dhaka during document submission. Fingerprints are valid for 5 years. Children under 14 and adults over 70 are exempt.
For standard tourism with hotel bookings, an invitation letter is generally not required. However, if visiting friends in China, an invitation letter from them strengthens your application. For business visits (M visa) and family visits (Q/S visa), invitation letters are mandatory.
Possible but not guaranteed for first-time applicants. Single-entry is most commonly issued for first applications. Multiple-entry visas are easier to obtain if you have previous China travel history or strong business ties. Your second application with good travel record has better chances.
