For applying for a Chinese Tourist Visa (L), one of the key supporting documents is either a confirmed hotel reservation or an invitation letter from a host in China. An invitation letter is typically required if you do not have a hotel booking or are staying with a friend or relative in China.

Here’s how you can manage obtaining an invitation letter:

  • Personal Invitation from a Chinese Citizen or Permanent Resident: If you have friends, relatives, or business contacts in China, they can provide a letter stating they are inviting you. The letter should include your full name, passport number, dates of visit, purpose of visit, and details of your host’s address and contact information.
  • Authorized Travel Agencies: Certain Chinese travel agencies accredited by the government can issue invitation letters for visa purposes. You would need to provide them with your passport details, travel dates, and intended itinerary. Many agencies charge a small fee for this service.
  • Tour Operators: Booking a tour package can also provide you with an invitation letter. The tour company issues the letter as part of their service confirming your travel arrangements in China.

Important tips:

  • Ensure the invitation letter is signed and includes the host’s official contact details.
  • Some visa offices may require additional supporting documents from the host, such as a copy of their Chinese ID or residence permit.
  • Check the visa office requirements specific to your country, as some consulates are strict about the format and content of invitation letters.

In summary, if you do not have a hotel booking, you can either reach out to a personal contact in China to provide a proper invitation letter, or use an accredited travel agency to issue one for you. This will satisfy the requirements for your tourist visa application.
