Template for a Private Invitation to China The Invitation may either be issued by a Chinese citizen, or by a foreigner living in China. The maximum duration of the stay is either 1 x up to 90 days or 2 x 30 days each. If you can supply documents that prove your kinship relation (i.e. a birth- or marriage certificate), you can also apply for a multiple-entry visa with 60 or 90 days duration per entry. If the person you are related to is a Chinese citizen, you can apply for a visa for one year with multiple entries. In case you are invited by relatives, please be aware that you must provide proof of kinship by submitting birth and/or marriage certificates. It may therefore be easier for you to get invited by a person who is not a relative but just a friend. Letterhead of inviting person (including complete postal address and Tel. No. In China) To the Visa authorities of the People s Republic of China in Germany Date I herewith invite my friend / husband / wife / mother/father/brother/sister + full name + birth date [+possibly additional persons with full name and date of birth if applicable] to visit me from to [maximum 90 days, unless close relative] in China. I ask the authorities to grant him/her a visa a) for single entry or b) for double entry to China, because we are planning a retreat to [for instance Hongkong / Korea / Philippines] or c) for the subsequent conversion int o a residence permit (types S1 / Q1). [only possible if you also supply a proff of kinship] Signature [enclosures] The invitation may be written in English, German or Chinese. The name of the invitee however always needs to be written in Latin characters. After signing, the invitation is being scanned and then sent to Germany as a pdf-file. The invitation is valid only if copies or the documents of the inviting person are attached to it. These documents are: a.) If the inviting person is a Chinese citizen: Chinese ID-card (front and back side). Please be aware that the inviting person can invite you only to the place where he/she officially lives. b.) If the inviting person is a foreigner living in China: passport (page with his photo, and page with the Residence Permit for China). Only foreigners with a work visa (Z), student visa (X) or long-term F/M-visa (150 days or more) are eligible to issue invitations.
