ChinaCopilot

Stay-visa document desk

代办留华签证 — work, study, residence, extension

For foreigners who will stay in China for work, study, family residence, or who are already here and need a stay or residence extension. ChinaCopilot collects your file and, when the agent quote is live, a 30% deposit, then hands the case to a visa agent. Free journey checklists on this site stay checklists.

We are not the embassy, the visa center, or the exit-entry bureau. We do not file at those counters ourselves and we do not guarantee a visa, permit, or extension. Categories follow the Chinese embassy visa instructions. Visa-free entry is a screening warning, not a product we sell. Rules change — reconfirm the official page linked on each product.

What this desk does

  1. You pick the stay category that matches your real purpose (work, study, residence, or extension).
  2. You see the official document list. Do not invent papers you do not have.
  3. When the agent quote is entered, you pay a 30% deposit and upload the bio page. The balance is collected later. The agent handles the case; the bureau decides.
