China Visa Validity:
Chinese visas are generally issued for 3 months, 6 months or 12
months from the date of issue and allow single, double or
multiple entries according to visa application request and
supporting documents. Length of stay is usually up to 30 days,
but longer stays can be issued at the discretion of the Chinese
Consular officer.

the discretion of the Chinese Consulate, to applicants with a
passport valid for no less than 18 months beyond stay in China,
