What Is the China Business Visa?

The China Business Visa is the official sticker visa required for Nigerians visiting China for short stays. It is mandatory to obtain this visa before departure, as China does not offer a visa on arrival for Nigerian passport holders.

Key facts:

• Issued as a sticker visa that is placed inside your passport

• Application must be made in person through the China Visa Application Service Center (CVASC) at Abuja in Nigeria

• Travel purposes covered: leisure tourism, family/friend visits, cultural events, short-term business meetings

• Public health testing requirements (e.g. COVID-19) were removed in May 2024, although random health screenings on entry are still possible.
