Direct job placements or sponsor work permits. China Z Visa (Work Visa) requires a Work Permit Notification Letter and Invitation Letter (PU Letter) from a licensed Chinese employer, these must come from your employer, not from us. Any agency promising "guaranteed China work visa package" without a real job offer and valid work permit notification is running a scam. goFLY only assists with Z visa documentation AFTER you have genuine employer sponsorship with proper paperwork from Chinese authorities.
We declined 50+ China visa applications in 2025 during free consultations, because those cases had weak documentation, inconsistent financials, or unrealistic expectations. We would rather lose the sale than take your money for a likely refusal. This honest approach has earned us a 90%+ success rate on accepted cases.
Note: Scenarios above are illustrative composites drawn from goFLY's 10,000+ customer base since 2017. Names and personal details have been changed for privacy. Outcomes reflect typical cases but do not guarantee identical results for your application.

Tourist Visa (L Visa) — Step-by-Step Process
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:
Complete COVA Online Application Form
Prepare Required Documents
Book Appointment at CVASC (If Required)
Submit at CVASC & Provide Fingerprints
Track Application Status
Collect Your Passport with Visa
- Book hotels that exactly match your itinerary, inconsistencies between your travel plan and hotel bookings raise red flags
- Show a realistic itinerary, visiting 8 cities in 7 days looks suspicious; plan reasonably
- If visiting friends in China, still book hotels as backup accommodation proof rather than only showing their address
- First-time applicants typically receive single-entry visas; build a travel history for future multi-entry applications
- Include old passports even if they have no China stamps, showing any international travel history helps
- Your cover letter should explain WHY you want to visit specific cities and what specifically you plan to do
🎯 Want your China visa documents reviewed before submission? Our team catches errors that cause rejections, before you waste the fee.
Tourist Visa (L Visa) — Complete Document Checklist
🪪 Application & Identity Documents
- Application Form: Completed online via COVA system (cova.mfa.gov.cn), printed and personally signed
- Current Passport: Original with minimum 6 months validity and 2+ blank visa pages
- Old Passports: All previous passports, critical for demonstrating travel history to China or other countries
- Photos: 2 recent photos, 48mm × 33mm, pure white background, no glasses, taken within 6 months. NOT standard passport size (35×45mm)
- NID Copy: National ID card, both sides, colour photocopy
✈️ Travel Plan Documents
- Cover Letter: Explains purpose of visit, planned cities, activities, travel dates, who is funding the trip, ties to Bangladesh, and intention to return
- Round-Trip Flight Booking: Confirmed booking showing entry and exit dates. Use refundable tickets until visa is approved
- Hotel Reservations: Confirmed bookings covering ALL nights in China, dates must match flight bookings exactly
- Day-by-Day Itinerary: Detailed travel plan showing which city you visit on which date, attractions/activities, and how you travel between cities
💰 Financial Evidence (CRITICAL)
- Bank Statements: Last 6 months from all personal accounts, stamped by bank, showing consistent balance and regular transactions
- Bank Solvency Certificate: Original certificate from your bank (should be recent, within 7–10 days of application)
- Fixed Deposits (FDR): If you have fixed deposits, include certificates, shows financial stability
- Sponsor Documents: If someone else is funding your trip, their bank statements (6 months) + signed sponsorship letter + their NID + relationship proof
- Property Documents: Ownership documents for land or property, demonstrates strong ties to Bangladesh and financial standing
Sudden large deposits in your bank account within 1–2 months before application are a RED FLAG. If you have legitimate large deposits (property sale, matured FDR, business income, family gift), explain them clearly in your cover letter with supporting documents:
- Property sale: Sale deed, registration documents
- FDR maturity: Original FDR certificate showing maturity date
- Business income: Invoices, contracts, business bank statements
- Gift: Signed gift letter from donor + their bank statements
Unexplained sudden deposits often lead to refusal as they appear to be borrowed money to temporarily inflate your balance.
💼 Employment / Status Proof (CRITICAL)
- Employed: NOC letter on company letterhead (stating position, salary, travel dates approved, return date), salary certificates/payslips (3–6 months), company ID card, employment contract
- Business Owners: Trade licence (current/renewed), TIN certificate, business bank statements (6 months), company registration documents
- Professionals: Professional licence/registration (doctors, engineers, lawyers), chamber membership proof
- Retired: Official retirement letter, pension documents, bank statements showing regular pension credits
👨👩👧 Visiting Friends in China (Additional Documents)
- Invitation Letter: From your friend in China, stating your relationship, visit duration, accommodation arrangement, and their commitment
- Friend's ID: Copy of their Chinese National ID card (if Chinese citizen) or passport + residence permit (if foreigner)
- Relationship Evidence: Photos together, communication records, previous meeting evidence
- Wrong photo size: Submitting standard 35×45mm passport photos instead of 48×33mm China visa photos, instant rejection
- Bank statements without consistent transactions: Statements showing only a high balance with no regular salary credits or business income look fabricated
- Sudden large deposits: Appears as borrowed money, must be explained with supporting documents
- Itinerary and hotel bookings that don't match: Hotel in Beijing on dates when itinerary shows you in Shanghai
- Missing signature on application form: Unsigned forms are rejected immediately
- Unsigned cover letter: All letters must be signed
- Old passports not submitted: Missing opportunity to show previous international travel history
- Unrealistic itinerary: Claiming to visit Shanghai, Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Guilin, and Shenzhen in 7 days looks fabricated
Business Visa (M Visa) — Requirements
The M Visa allows you to attend business meetings, conferences, trade fairs, or negotiate contracts in China. You are visiting as a business visitor, NOT to take up employment in China.
Core Requirements
- Invitation Letter from Chinese Company: Must be on official company letterhead with: red company chop/stamp, your full details, purpose of visit, specific meeting dates, activities in China, who bears costs, and explicit confirmation you won't be employed or receive salary from Chinese sources
- Chinese Company's Business Licence: Copy of the inviting company's business registration certificate
- Your Company Documents: Trade licence (current), TIN certificate, company NOC letter on company letterhead
- Business Bank Statements: Your company's last 6-month bank statements showing active operations
- Trade Fair Invitation: If attending trade fair, official invitation from the fair organizer with event details, booth/registration information
- Previous Business Correspondence: Emails, contracts, import/export records, purchase orders if you have an existing business relationship with the Chinese counterpart
- Company Profile: Brochure, website printout, major products/services, client list
M Visa Entry Options
| 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 business visits |
| Multiple Entry (6M) | 6 months | 30–60 days each | Regular business travelers with history |
| Multiple Entry (1Y) | 1 year | 30–60 days each | Frequent business travelers with strong history |
- The quality of the Chinese company's invitation letter is the single most important factor, it must have the official red company chop/stamp
- A vague invitation letter ("We invite Mr. X to visit China") is often rejected; the letter must be detailed with specific meeting agenda, dates, and purpose
- Multiple-entry M visas are significantly easier to obtain if you have previous China business travel history in your passport
- Attending a recognized trade fair (Canton Fair, electronics fairs in Shenzhen, etc.) with official organizer invitation strengthens your application considerably
- Previous import/export records, Alibaba trade history, or commercial invoices showing existing China business relationship all strengthen the application

Fees & Processing Times

| Double Entry | ৳11,000 – ৳13,000 | 6 months from issue date |

| Express Processing | 2–3 working days | + ৳3,000 – ৳4,000 |
| Rush Processing | 1 working day | + ৳6,500 – ৳7,000 (subject to availability) |
China visa fees change periodically based on reciprocity arrangements and CVASC policy updates. The figures above are approximate and for guidance only. Always verify current fees on the official CVASC Dhaka website or call goFLY at 01713-289170 for the latest rates before your visit. All fees are non-refundable regardless of outcome.
- Processing time starts from the date of document submission at CVASC, not from when you completed the online form

- During peak seasons (Chinese New Year, October Golden Week), even regular processing may take longer, apply well in advance
- Rush processing (1 working day) is subject to availability and is not guaranteed, check with CVASC before relying on it
- For urgent travel, contact goFLY to assess if rush processing is appropriate for your application type
Photo Size & Biometrics Requirements
Photo Specifications (Strictly Enforced — Most Common Rejection Reason)
| Requirement | Specification |
|---|---|
| Size | 48mm × 33mm, this is NOT standard passport photo size |
| Background | Pure white, no shadows, no patterns |
| Recency | Taken within the last 6 months |
| Face Coverage | Face should occupy 70–80% of photo area |
| Expression | Neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open and looking at camera |
| Glasses | Remove all glasses for photo |
| Head Covering | Not allowed except for documented religious reasons |
| Quantity | 2 identical photos required |
| Quality | High resolution, no pixelation, no blurriness, properly exposed |
Standard passport photos used for Bangladesh passport, UK visa, Schengen visa, etc. are 35mm × 45mm (width × height). China requires a DIFFERENT size, 48mm × 33mm (width × height). These are wider and shorter than standard passport photos.
Submitting the wrong photo size is one of the most frequent rejection reasons for China visa from Bangladesh.
What to do: Visit a professional photo studio and say "China visa photo, 48 millimeters wide by 33 millimeters tall, white background." Do not assume any "visa photo" will work for China.
Biometrics (Fingerprints) at CVASC
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Who must provide? | All applicants aged 14 to 70 years |
| Exempt | Children under 14, adults over 70, certain diplomats |
| Type collected | 10-finger digital fingerprint scan |
| Where | At CVASC Dhaka during document submission, cannot be done separately |
| Validity | 5 years from collection date, repeat applicants within 5 years may not need to provide again |
| Fingers must be | Clean, no henna, no ink, no bandages, no nail polish on fingertips |
- Remove any henna, mehndi, nail polish, or ink from your fingertips before your submission appointment
- If you have dry or cracked skin on fingertips, use moisturizer the evening before to improve fingerprint capture quality
- Do not have bandages on fingers during submission if possible, inform CVASC if you have a medical reason
- Workers with very worn fingerprints from manual labour may need extra care, arrive early and inform CVASC staff
Application Tracking & Collection
How to Track Your Application
Keep Your Receipt Safely
Track Online
Check SMS Notifications
Collect Your Passport
Authorized Collection (If You Cannot Collect Personally)
- Authorization Letter: Written and signed letter from you authorizing the person to collect on your behalf
- Collector's ID: Original NID or passport of the person collecting
- Your Submission Receipt: Original receipt from CVASC
- Authorized collector must sign the collection record at CVASC
Verifying Your Visa After Collection — What to Check
- Name spelling: Must match your passport exactly
- Passport number: Must match your current passport
- Visa validity period: Start date and end date of the visa window
- Number of entries: Single, Double, or Multiple (M)
- Duration of stay: How many days you can stay per entry (e.g., 30, 60, 90 days)
- Visa category: L (Tourist), M (Business), X1, X2, etc., confirm it matches what you applied for
If you spot any error in your visa details (name spelling, dates, entry type), report it to CVASC staff immediately before leaving. Errors discovered after you leave are much harder to correct and may require a new application.
If Your Application Is Refused
- Refusal Notice: CVASC will return your passport with a rejection slip indicating the reason (often in general terms)
- Fees: All visa fees are completely non-refundable regardless of outcome
- No Formal Appeal: China visa refusals generally cannot be formally appealed, you must address the issues and reapply
- Reapplication: Identify the specific weakness (photo size, financial documents, missing stamp on invitation, etc.), correct it, and submit a new complete application
- No Waiting Period: You can reapply immediately, but submitting the same weak application without improvements will result in another refusal
Contact goFLY at 01713-289170 for an honest assessment of your refusal before reapplying. We will review the rejection reason and tell you clearly whether your profile can be strengthened for a successful reapplication, or whether you need more time to build a stronger profile first. We would rather advise you to wait than take your money for another likely refusal.
Common Mistakes That Cause China Visa Refusal
| Mistake | Why It's a Problem | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Wrong photo size (most common) | 48×33mm required, submitting 35×45mm passport photos is immediate rejection | Get China-specific photos (48×33mm, white background) made at a professional studio |
| Inconsistent itinerary and hotel bookings | Hotels show Beijing dates but itinerary shows Shanghai, creates credibility issue | Cross-check all hotel bookings against itinerary dates and cities before submission |
| Weak or inconsistent financial documents | Bank statements with no regular income or sudden large deposits look fabricated | Show 6 months of consistent transactions; explain any large deposits with supporting documents |
| Business invitation without company chop | Invitation letter without official red company stamp is not valid | Ensure red company chop/stamp is visible and clear on all invitation letters |
| Unsigned application form | Immediate rejection, form must be personally signed | Sign the printed COVA form in the designated signature field before submission |
| Not submitting old passports | Missed opportunity to show previous travel history and China visit compliance | Bring all old passports to CVASC, even those with no China stamps help show international travel history |
| Unrealistic travel itinerary | Claiming to visit 8 cities in 5 days looks impossible and fabricated | Plan a realistic itinerary; allow travel time between cities and proper time at each destination |
| Missing cover letter | Officer has no explanation of purpose, funding, or ties to Bangladesh | Always include a clear, signed cover letter explaining your trip purpose and demonstrating ties to Bangladesh |
| Henna/mehndi on fingers during biometrics | Affects fingerprint capture quality; may require rescheduling | Ensure fingertips are clean, free of henna, ink, and nail polish for biometric collection |
| Applying with tourist visa for business purpose | Using L visa to conduct business is misrepresentation, can result in China entry refusal | Apply for the correct visa type, M visa for business activities, L visa for genuine tourism only |
Real Applicant Scenarios
The following are illustrative examples based on typical successful and unsuccessful application profiles from our experience, names and details are fictional. They demonstrate how documentation strategy and profile strength affect outcomes. Individual results depend on specific circumstances and consular assessment.
RMG Exporter — Business Visit to Canton Fair
A garment accessories importer attended the Canton Fair in Guangzhou. He submitted an official Canton Fair invitation from the organizer, his company's trade licence and TIN certificate, 6-month business bank statements showing consistent trade activity, import/export records with Chinese suppliers, and a detailed business trip cover letter. His personal bank statements also showed a consistent balance well above trip cost.
Tourist — First Visit to Shanghai and Beijing
A marketing executive applied for tourist L visa to visit Shanghai and Beijing for 10 days. He prepared a realistic day-by-day itinerary (5 days Shanghai, 5 days Beijing), hotel bookings matching the itinerary exactly, round-trip confirmed flight booking, 12-month salary payslips, employer NOC with specific return date, and 6-month personal bank statements with consistent salary credits. His cover letter explained specific attractions he wanted to visit and tied the trip to a career development interest in Chinese business culture.
Refused — Wrong Photo Size + Inconsistent Itinerary
A first-time applicant submitted standard 35×45mm passport photos instead of 48×33mm. His itinerary claimed to visit Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, and Guilin in 8 days (unrealistic). His bank statement showed a large deposit of BDT 3 lakh just 10 days before application with no regular salary credits. No cover letter was included. The application was rejected at submission stage due to wrong photo size before even being formally processed.
goFLY Note: We always verify photo specifications before clients go to CVASC. This is why a free pre-submission document review can save you time and money.
Transit Visa & China's Free Transit Policy
G Visa (Transit Visa)
If you need to transit through China (stopover at a Chinese airport with city exit or extended layover), you may need a G Transit Visa. Requirements include:
- Onward flight tickets: Confirmed booking to your final destination showing you will leave China
- Destination country visa: Valid visa for your final destination (if required)
- Transit itinerary: Plan for your transit period in China
- Hotel booking: If you plan to leave the airport during transit
China has a 144-hour (6-day) and 72-hour visa-free transit program available at select ports of entry. However, as of April 2026, Bangladeshi passport holders are NOT included in the list of nationalities eligible for this visa-free transit policy.
If you are transiting through China with a stopover that requires leaving the airport or exceeds airside transit limits, you will need to apply for a G Transit Visa through CVASC Dhaka.
China's transit policies are evolving, always check the latest policy with the Chinese Embassy Bangladesh or CVASC Dhaka before travel, as eligibility rules can change without much notice.
If your layover in China is short, you remain airside (inside the airport international zone without going through immigration), and you have a confirmed onward ticket, you generally do NOT need a transit visa. However, confirm this with your airline and the relevant airport before travel, as rules can vary by airport and flight route.

China requires a specific 48mm × 33mm photo on a pure white background. This is NOT the standard passport photo size (35×45mm). Wrong photo size is one of the most common rejection reasons for China visa applications. Visit a professional photo studio and specifically request "China visa photo, 48 millimeters wide by 33 millimeters tall, white background." Do not use any photos taken for other visa applications.
Approximate fees (April 2026): Single entry ৳7,500–9,000, Double entry ৳11,000–13,000, Multiple entry (6 months) ৳14,000–16,000, Multiple entry (1 year) ৳17,000–20,000. Express processing adds ৳3,000–4,000 and Rush (1 day) processing adds ৳6,500–7,000. All fees are non-refundable regardless of outcome. Always verify current rates on the official CVASC website before visiting as fees can change.
Regular processing takes 4–5 working days from submission date. Express processing takes 2–3 working days with an additional fee. Rush processing takes 1 working day with a higher fee, subject to availability. Processing time starts from the date of document submission at CVASC Dhaka, not from the date you completed the online form. Working days exclude Fridays, Saturdays, Chinese public holidays, and Bangladeshi public holidays.
Yes. All applicants aged 14–70 must provide 10-finger fingerprints at CVASC Dhaka during document submission. Children under 14 and adults over 70 are exempt. Fingerprints are collected during the same visit as document submission, you cannot do them separately. Fingerprints are valid for 5 years. Ensure your fingertips are free of henna, nail polish, ink, or bandages for best capture quality.
For standard tourism with confirmed hotel bookings, an invitation letter is generally not required for the L Tourist Visa. If you are visiting friends in China, an invitation letter from them with their ID copy strengthens your application. For Business visa (M Visa), Family Reunion (Q1/Q2), Private Affairs (S1/S2), and Work visa (Z), invitation letters are mandatory requirements without which the application cannot proceed.
Possible but not guaranteed for first-time applicants. Single-entry is most commonly issued on first applications for tourism. Multiple-entry visas are more likely if you have previous China travel history shown in old passports, strong and verifiable business ties with Chinese companies (for M visa), or attend the Canton Fair regularly. Your second application with a good travel compliance record has significantly better chances of receiving multiple entry.
Address: Suvastu Suraiya Trade Center, Level 4, 66 Gulshan Avenue, Dhaka 1212. Submission hours: Sunday to Thursday, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM. Collection hours: Sunday to Thursday, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM.

All visa fees are non-refundable. You will receive your passport back with a rejection notice. There is no formal appeal process, you must address the rejection reasons and submit a new complete application. Common rejection reasons include wrong photo size (must be 48×33mm), inconsistent itinerary and hotel bookings, weak financial documents, missing company stamp on business invitation, and unsigned application form. Contact goFLY at 01713-289170 for honest assessment before reapplying.
