Apply from outside China · R
R talent visa
For high-level talents or people whose skills China classifies as urgently needed.
Who it is for
Applicants who meet the Chinese authorities’ talent or urgently-needed-skill rules and can show the required confirmation.
Where it is filed
Chinese embassy, consulate, or Chinese Visa Application Service Center outside mainland China. The office that covers your place of residence decides the case.
What we do not promise
The visa office decides the category, entries, validity, and stay. A complete file does not mean a visa will be issued.
Documents the agent will ask for
- Passport with at least six months of validity beyond the intended stay, blank visa pages, and a copy of the bio page.
- Completed online visa application form for the People’s Republic of China.
- One recent front-facing photo on a white background.
- If you apply outside your country of citizenship: proof of legal stay in the country where you apply.
- Former Chinese citizens: previous Chinese passport and prior Chinese visa copies, plus a name-change document if the name differs.
- The certification the competent Chinese authority requires for high-level talent or urgently needed skills.
