Most foreign business visitors to China need a visa before travel; the M (business) visa is the standard category for trade fair attendance and commercial meetings. Apply through the Chinese embassy or a Chinese Visa Application Service Center in your country with an invitation letter and supporting documents. Check your nationality for recent unilateral visa-free or transit policies before booking.
Processing: Standard processing is typically several business days to a few weeks depending on embassy workload; apply well ahead of the 27 April 2027 show date.
Prepare an invitation letter from the organiser or your Chinese business partner, confirmed flight and hotel bookings, and passport photos. Visa Application Service Centers handle document intake in many countries.
