Questions and Answers
for the China Trip 2026
Hi, everyone,
For your convenience I have created this documents for your reference regarding to the China Trip as the following:
Visa applications and entry clearance at custom:
The Training Base of Chen Style Tai Chi Centre UK is our official business in China. We have been approved as a valid and recognized invitation person and organizer in China so you can put us down as invitation body in China.
To simplify the visa application form it’s better to apply for F – Visitors visa as Cultural study purpose and indicate it’s yourself to pay for the Trip on the form otherwise so many questions afterwards.

Postcode: 411105; Telephone is +86 158 73216908
Don’t mention about the travel itinerary and only put training and stay in my address in China, Otherwise you have to fill in every single places and transportation on the Trip…. It’s a very complicated process. We will provide your arrival hotel for the first 3 days for easy process purpose.
Please apply for two years multiple entry visa with 60 days per stay and I believe the price is the same but it makes more convenient for the Trip and the future visit if you wish to return to China next year.
30 countries are free of visa to visit China for 30 days so please check it online.
