Is your company can apply for a visa?

Visas must be issued through Chinese embassies and consulates before entry to China. The tour companies cannot apply for visas on behalf of customers. All visitors traveling to mainland China whether for business or pleasure require a visa. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the duration of your intended stay.
