I think the original and copy of Spain Residence permit are required, when the visa officer check the original one, it will return it to you and leave the copy.

Hi,
I am an American student currently studying in Madrid, Spain until June 2010. I plan to visit my family in China sometime during January 2010. I was wondering if the requirements are any different for me, namely the invitation letter or would I just need to provide a viable address.
Thank You
Nov. 4,2009 20:45
Ms.Ashley replied:
I think an invitaion letter would be better, and you can also provide proof of family relationship for the visa application.

I am a U.S. citizen in Spain. I have been invited to go to China in December by my Chinese friends and to stay with them. I want to stay for three weeks.
Please inform me which visa I should apply for, the documents required (other than my passport). Also, do I need to go in person to Madrid or Barcelona (I am in Andalucia.)? How long does it take and what will be the cost?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Mr.Duncan replied:
You should apply for a China L Tourist visa with the following documents:
1.Applicant's passport with blank pages and at least 6 months validity left before expiration.
2. A truly and completely filled application form affixed with one passport-sized photo.
3. Round-trip air ticket
4. Invitation letter from your Chinese Friends.
5. Your Spanish residence permit and its copy.
You can go to the embassy in person, or you can entrust a friend or a travel agency to go to the embassy to apply for the visa on your behalf. A normal visa process procedure takes 5 working days.
The fee is EUR 25 for a single entry.

I am a US citizen with Spanish Residency applying for a business visa at the China Embassy Madrid. Can you please confirm the documents required for the application?
As I understand it, it requires the visa application form with passport size photo afixed, original passport, resident card and photocopy of residency card, letter of invitation from a Chinese business. Is a copy of all pages of the original passport required? Anything else original or duplicated?
thanks in advance.
Oct. 20,2009 21:45
Mr.Dempsey replied:
I think the embassy just requires the copy of the first two pages of your passport.
I think the documents you listed are enough.

Mr.Michael(Spain) said:
I am businessman applying for a visa to attend a trade show at Guangzhou in late November. I will have a letter of invitation. The event is 3 days and I then hope to stay in China to pursue business. I would like to apply for a multiple entry visa. The China embassy in Spain's application offers multiple entry options from 1 entry 3 months, 2 entries 6 months, multiple entries for 6, 12, or 24 months.
Can you advise what option I might successfully apply for and receive permission?
If I apply for multiple entries and they won't give permission for that will they automatically give permission for a lesser one without denying the visa application?
thanks in advance.
Oct. 14,2009 21:50
Mr.Angus replied:
There are strict requirements for multi-entry visa applications, I advise you just apply for a double entry visa this time.
It's posible that the embassy may grant you a single entry visa if you can't meet the requirements of the multiple entry visa, but all depends on the China embassy and relevant China visa policies.
Oct. 15,2009 03:45
Mr.Michael(Spain) replied:
Thank you for the advice on applying for double entry.
Can you guide me to someplace I can view the multi-entry visa requirements? I would like to know what they are.

For anyone pursuing this course this nugget may be useful.
From this page at the China Embassy website Spain http://es.china-embassy.org/esp/lygg/t237019.htm there is link to a "new"(looks like set up to handle the Olympics) website for tourism:
http://www.turismodechina.org
At this page on the "new" website
http://www.turismodechina.org/informacion_practica.php
are information links at the China Embassy Barcelona site which has a link to this pdf download:
LOS REQUISITOS PARA SOLICITAR VISADO CHINO
http://barcelona.china-consulate.org/esp/lsyw
/P020070522618454843575.pdf
This pdf has one entry about multi-entry visas; you need an invitation from an authorized company in China or testimony that demonstrates close commercial relationships with businesses in China.
The other requirements are the standard boilerplate for any visa.
