Chinese Business or we can called Commerce & Trade (M) Visa (before 1st Sept 2013, we called F visa) is issued to those who intend to go to China for commercial and trade activities. (not including internship)
Start from Jan 2015, Chinese release a new rule (no.78 Rule), especially for foreigner who comes into China to finish a short term work (less than 90 days). In that rule, it determines which kind of situation count as a short term working (Z) and what situation count as a short term Commerce & Trade (M). Details below, please check it carefully, when you have an interview in the Chinese Embassy or China visa center, you have to give the proper answer relate to the visa type which you want to apply. Wrong answer will cause your case reject or delay:

When you get a M visa issued from the Chinese Embassy/Consulate in any other countries, normally the visa is in light green color, on the right top of the visa is the National Emblem of China (Click to see the sample). After you get your visa, you must first check if your name, passport number, birth date are correct or not. After that, let's VisaInChina teach you how to read your visa. According to the above sample, on that visa, there are following important information:
- Category: M (before 1st Sept 2013, we called F visa)
- Entries: M (Multiple)
- Enter Before: 3rd Sept 2014
- Duration of each stay: 030 days after entry
- Issue date: 3rd Sept 2013
It means, your current visa type is M visa (China business visa), you have Multi-entries to enter China (you can enter / leave / re-enter China as many times as you want), But you must enter China before 3rd Sept 2014. After you enter China, you can stay maximum 30 days without leaving (30 days calculated from your last entry date into China). Following are some FAQs about above Chinese M visa:
Q1: If I enter China on 2nd Sept 2014, how long can I stay?
A: Since you Enter Before 3rd Sept 2014, you still can stay 30 days until 2nd Oct 2014.
Q2: Following above situation, I enter China on 2nd Sept 2014, on 30th Sept 2014, I want to go to Thailand for a visit and come back on 10th Oct 2014, can I do that with my current visa?
A: You can leave China, but you can not enter China with this visa, because this visa requests you enter China before 3rd Sept 2014, so it means you must apply a new visa in Thailand to come back on 10th Oct 2014.
Ok, within the "enter before" date, you entered China, after you stay 30days, you can either leave China and come back (within "enter before" date) to active another 30 days stay, or we can help you do the visa renewal / extension here in our Shanghai or Hongkong office. Following are the services we provide for M visa renewal, normally the visa you get inside of China is in grey color, on the middle of the visa is the China Great Wall (Click to see the sample)
