Yes, you need a visa notification from the competent office of the Chinese government, the invitation letter from your Chinese supplier is not sufficient for visa application.

URGENT
Dear Helper,
Our Chinese Party wants to know from where he can get the visa notification letter for me. He seems not sure about the proceedure. Can you tell us what is the authority in Shanghai he can go to in order to obtain a Visa Notification Letter for me.
The chinese embassy in Sri Lanka needs four days to issue a business visa. I have to submit the visa application nest monday (9th). I need the Visa Notification Letter before that.
Please let me know the duration it takes to obtain a visa notification letter for a business visa.
Please reply soon.

DEAR SIR,
FOR A PERSON WHO VISITS CHINA FOR THE FIRST TIME, HOW LONG IT WILL AKE TO GET VISA.
IS THERE ANY DOCUMENTS TO GET APPROVED FROM CHINA NAMED "RED SEAL DOCUMENT"
I HAVE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS WITH ME, PLS ADVISE IF I NEED MORE DOCUMENTS THAN FOLLOWING.
1)INVITATION LETTER FROM VISITOR FACTORY.
2) VALID PASSPORT / PHOTOS
3) BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS
4) COMPLETED VISA APPLICATION FORM
I NEED TO VIST TAIWAN TOO, SO I WILL HAVE TO ENTER HONG KONG THREE TIMES,
PLS ADVISE IF I CAN GET ENTRY VISA AT THE SAME TIME, ( HAVE TO DROP IN HK FOR APPLYING TAIWAN VISA AND GO TO CHINA, RETUN TO HK CHOP THE PASSPORT AND GO TO TAIWAN, RETURN TO HK TO COME TO SRI LANKA BACK )
Nov. 2,2009 22:35
Mr.Hiram replied:
A normal visa application process takes 4 working days.
I think the red seal document refers to the visa notice form from suthorized Chines units.
Besides the documents you have, you alo have to ask your cooperated partner in China to apply for a visa notice form for you.
If you will enter Hk there times, you can apply for a multiple entry Hk visa.
