In this episode of the Immigration Conversation Podcast, Senior Director Roy Ren and Director Iris Zhang join us from Fragomen’s Shanghai office to share their insights on China’s Visa on Arrival.

Also known as VoA or Port Visa, Visa on Arrival allows travelers to obtain a single entry, maximum 30-day visa upon arrival at entry ports. This episode provides an overview of the advantages of choosing a Visa on Arrival instead of a normal visa. It also expands on the requirements and steps to obtaining China’s Visa on Arrival. You will also learn how Fragomen’s China team is able to provide end-to-end assistance for obtaining a Visa on Arrival as part of Fragomen’s full spectrum China immigration services.

Please note this episode is recorded in Chinese.
