When applying for a China visit visa from Dubai, it’s important to choose the right visa category based on the purpose of your trip. China offers several types of visit visas, each designed for specific travel intentions. Below are the most common visit visa categories for UAE residents:

Who is it for?
- Tourists
- Solo or group leisure travelers
- Those visiting China for sightseeing or short-term personal trips

The Q visa is intended for those who wish to visit immediate family members who are Chinese citizens or permanent residents of China.
Who is it for?
- Family members visiting spouses, parents, children, or siblings living in China
- Can be issued as Q1 (long-term stay) or Q2 (short-term visit)
An invitation letter from the family member in China, proof of relationship, and residency documents are typically required.
S Visa – Visiting Friends or Accompanying Family
The S visa is granted to individuals visiting foreign nationals who are working or studying in China. It’s also used for spouses, children, or parents who are accompanying someone on a long-term stay.
Who is it for?
