National Immigration Administration Streamlines Visas for Medical Visitors

Visa facilitation for people travelling to China for treatment has been extended to more ports of entry. Applicants may now submit hospital appointment letters and financial proof through simplified channels, and some categories allow extension of stay after admission. Hospitals report that clear invitation letters shorten the review process considerably. Patients are advised to apply well ahead of the planned admission date and to keep a printed copy of the appointment confirmation. The Knowledge Base section of NiceCare explains the current document list, typical processing times and the difference between a medical visa and a short-stay business visa.
