Can I go to the Canton Fair with a China visa from Dubai?
Yes. We arrange business (M) visas for the Canton Fair and other trade fairs, including the invitation documents you need.
Do I need to go in person?
Most applicants attend the visa service center once for document submission and fingerprints. We prepare everything in advance.
Is China visa-free for my nationality?
China has recently widened visa-free entry and transit for several countries. Send us your nationality and we confirm the current rule.
How much does a China visa cost?
The total is the official visa fee (and visa-centre fee, if any) plus our service fee. We give you a clear quote on WhatsApp before you pay anything.
Can Travelax guarantee my China visa?
No agency can honestly guarantee approval – the decision is made by the embassy or immigration authority. We make sure your application is complete and well prepared, which improves your chances.
