    • Tourist visa to China for helpers (S2-type)

    A tourist visa to China for helpers is granted to a domestic helper for the purpose of accompanying family on a tourist trip or family visit. The visa will be issued strictly to the number of days indicated in the tickets and hotel bookings but no more than 30 days even if the employer’s family members have to stay longer.

    The visa will only be valid for a month so do not apply too early.
