I am an Indian national holding a regular Indian Passport. It would be of great help if you let me know the criteria for applying a for a business category Chine VISA.
Currently I am neither employed nor own a company in India or anywhere. I am taking up a job in China, and awaiting for the Employment License issued by Government of China. My contract in China will commence from 9th of November, but the work VISA will be available much later than November 20th. Given the circumstances, is it possible for me to apply for a F category visa(Business Visa). What are the criteria for applying for F category visa. When I checked the information on website of Embassy of People's Republic of China in India http://www.chinaembassy.org.in/eng/lssw/hzqz/t555802.htm I found that the applicant should produce a covering letter from applicant's company or employer addressed to the visa office.
