For many travelers planning to visit China, a 10-year multiple-entry Chinese Tourist Visa (L Visa) can provide much more flexibility than applying for a transit visa for every trip.
Oasis China Visa Services can assist eligible applicants with the complete Chinese visa application process, from preparing and filing the COVA application to submitting your passport and returning it after processing.
Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about applying for a 10-year Chinese tourist visa.
Can Oasis help me apply for a 10-year multiple-entry Chinese Tourist Visa?
Yes.
Oasis can assist eligible applicants who wish to apply for a 10-year multiple-entry Chinese Tourist (L) Visa.
Our Full Application Support Service is designed for applicants who would like professional assistance preparing and managing the application from beginning to end.
However, applicants should understand that the Chinese Embassy or Consulate makes the final decision regarding visa approval, validity, number of entries, and permitted length of stay.
A 10-year multiple-entry visa may be requested when appropriate, but a specific visa validity cannot be guaranteed.

2. Are there additional or hidden fees?
We believe visa service pricing should be clear before you begin.
Your quote will show the charges associated with the service you select. We do not want customers discovering unexpected mandatory fees after placing an order.
Optional services, such as expedited processing or upgraded return shipping, may cost extra if requested.
Any additional charge will be disclosed before we proceed.
3. Which service should I choose if I want Oasis to handle the entire application?
Choose our Full Application Support Service.
This service is intended for applicants who want Oasis to manage as much of the process as possible.
Depending on the case, our service may include:
- Visa application evaluateion
- COVA application preparation
- Document review
- Photo review and preparation
- COVA filing
- Preliminary application monitoring
- Passport submission
- Passport & Visa pickup
- Return shipping
A visa specialist or case manager will assist with your application throughout the process.
4. Will Oasis complete my COVA application?
Yes.
For Full Application Support customers, we generally prefer to prepare and file the COVA application ourselves from the beginning.
Correcting an incorrectly completed or previously submitted COVA application can sometimes create unnecessary complications or delays.
Instead, you provide your information through our visa application questionnaire, and our team uses that information to prepare, review, file, and monitor your application.
5. What documents do I need for a Chinese Tourist Visa?
The required documents vary depending on your nationality, immigration history, previous Chinese visas, travel history, and individual circumstances.
After registering your order, our online visa questionnaire will guide you through the required information and supporting documents.
Typical requirements may include your:
- Passport
- Passport-style photograph
- Travel information
- Previous Chinese visa information, if applicable
- Residency information
- Additional documents requested based on your individual case
If additional supporting documents are required, our team will contact you.
6. Do I need to visit the Chinese Embassy or Consulate in person?
Most applicants do not need to appear in person.
With our Full Application Support Service, Oasis handles the physical passport submission and visa pickup.
However, for spcial cases the Chinese Embassy or Consulate may occasionally request:
- Additional supporting documents
- An interview
- Fingerprints
- An in-person appearance
If this happens, we will notify you and explain the next steps.
7. Do I need to mail my passport to Oasis?
Yes.
Your physical passport must eventually be submitted to the Chinese Embassy or Consulate for visa processing.
Under normal circumstances, Oasis may have your passport for approximately 10–15 business days once the application reaches the passport submission stage.
Actual processing time can vary due to consular review, holidays, document requests, application volume, or other circumstances.
8. How long does the entire Chinese visa application process take?
We generally recommend allowing approximately four weeks for the complete process under normal circumstances.
The overall timeline may include:
COVA application preparation → preliminary review → passport submission → Embassy processing → visa pickup → return shipping.
Applicants should apply as early as reasonably possible, especially when travel dates are approaching.
Processing times are estimates and cannot be guaranteed.
9. Do I need to buy airline tickets before applying?
In many cases, applicants can provide tentative travel information when preparing the visa application.
You generally should not make expensive, non-refundable travel arrangements solely because you are applying for a visa.
If specific travel documentation is required for your application, our system or case manager will let you know.
10. What happens if I receive a 10-year visa but don’t travel right away?
You do not normally need to travel immediately after the visa is issued.
For example, if your visa is issued today but you decide to travel six months or even a year later, you may generally still use it as long as:
- The visa remains valid
- Your passport remains valid
- You meet the applicable entry requirements at the time of travel
Your original tentative travel date does not normally mean you must enter China on that exact date.
11. Does Oasis guarantee that I will receive a 10-year visa?
No visa agency can guarantee the validity or number of entries issued by a Chinese Embassy or Consulate.
Oasis can professionally prepare and manage your application and request the appropriate visa based on your circumstances, but the final decision remains with the Chinese consular authorities.
Depending on the applicant and the case, the Embassy or Consulate may issue a visa with a shorter validity or different number of entries.
