Step-by-Step Guide to Apply for China M-Visa via Embassy Kathmandu

Applying for a China Business Visa (M-Visa) from Nepal through the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu is a systematic process that requires accuracy, verified documents, and proper coordination between the applicant, the inviting company in China, and the Chinese Visa Application Service Center (CVASC) located at Rising Mall, Kamaladi, Kathmandu. The M-Visa is designed for Nepali entrepreneurs, investors, and business representatives visiting China for trade fairs, supplier meetings, partnership discussions, or factory inspections. Below is a detailed step-by-step guide to help Nepali applicants complete the process efficiently in 2025.

Step 1: Obtain an Official Invitation Letter (or PU Letter)
The first and most important step is to get an official Invitation Letter or PU Letter from a registered Chinese company or trade organization. The letter should mention the applicant’s name, nationality, passport number, visit purpose, duration, and inviter’s company details with an official red seal or stamp. For large exhibitions like the Canton Fair, the organizers themselves issue trade fair invitations.

Step 2: Prepare Required Documents
Gather all essential documents before starting the application process. These include a valid passport (minimum 6 months validity), recent color photo (48mm × 33mm, white background), invitation letter or PU Letter, business registration certificate, PAN or tax document, bank statement (last 3–6 months), flight booking, and hotel reservation. Applicants with previous China visas or trade records should attach copies to strengthen their application.

Step 3: Fill Out the Online Application Form
Visit the official Chinese visa website visaforchina.cn and select “Kathmandu” as the visa submission center. Fill in accurate details including personal information, travel history, purpose of visit, and inviter details. Once completed, download and print the form on A4 paper, sign it, and attach a passport-size photo.

Step 4: Book an Appointment via CVASC
After completing the online form, book an appointment through the same portal for document submission at the Chinese Visa Application Service Center (CVASC). Without a prior appointment, walk-in submissions may not be accepted, especially during busy travel seasons.

Step 5: Submit Documents at CVASC Kathmandu
On your appointment date, visit CVASC, Rising Mall, Kamaladi, with your completed visa form and all required documents. Embassy officers or CVASC staff will review your documents, verify your invitation, and collect the visa fee. Fees range between NPR 12,000 and NPR 28,000 depending on entry type (single, double, multiple) and processing time (regular, express, urgent).

Step 6: Wait for Processing and Approval
The regular processing time is 4 to 7 working days, while express or urgent services can deliver results within 2 to 3 working days. If any verification is required, the embassy may contact you or request additional documentation.

Step 7: Collect Your Passport and Visa
Once the visa is approved, collect your passport from the CVASC counter with the issued China Business Visa (M-Visa) stamp. Check the validity period, number of entries, and stay duration carefully before planning your trip.
