What Is the Chinese R Visa?

The Chinese R Visa (Talent Visa) is reserved for foreign experts recognized as urgently needed in China’s workforce or research landscape. Proper documentation can be valid for up to 5 or even 10 years—depending on the consulate’s discretion—often with multiple entries. A Confirmation Letter for High-Level Foreign Talents from the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs (SAFEA) is mandatory, affirming that your skills align with urgent needs in China.

 

Applying while physically in the U.S. is necessary, as most consulates do not process R Visa applications submitted from abroad.
