What are the precautions for applicants who share Japanese nationality to apply for a Chinese business visa? Is it easy to get a Japanese business visa to China now?

日本是一个与中国隔海相望的国家，在历史上与中国有很多交集。虽然近代两国的关系由于种种历史原因变得十分微妙，但在经济全球化的大势下，两国的商务贸易往来仍旧十分频繁，在中国也会看到很多日本商业街。在这样的趋势下，越来越多的日本国籍人士来华进行商务活动，这里就涉及到今天签之家要为您讲解的来华商务签证。

Japan is a country facing China across the sea, and it has many intersections with China in history. Although the relationship between the two countries in modern times has become very subtle due to various historical reasons, under the general trend of economic globalization, business and trade between the two countries are still very frequent, and many Japanese commercial streets can be seen in China. Under this trend, more and more Japanese nationals are coming to China for business activities, and here is the business visa for China that the signing house will explain to you today.

根据中国驻日本大使馆今年8月发布的规定指出新冠肺炎疫情以来，中国政府根据疫情防控和人员往来需要，适时调整外国人赴华签证安排。现在签之家为大家整理了现在日本国籍申请人申请中国商务签证有哪些注意事项：

1、签证中心接受日本公民或合法在日本居留的其它国家公民的签证申请。如果您申请签证时不在日本境内，将不能接受您的申请。请向您目前所在国家的签证中心递交申请，或者返回日本后再申请

2、中国使领馆有各自的领区，请您向自己所在领区内的签证中心递交签证申请

3、签证申请必须线上填表、线上预约，认证申请必须线上预约，无预约不受理

According to the regulations issued by the Chinese Embassy in Japan in August this year, since the COVID-19 epidemic was pointed out, the Chinese government has adjusted the visa arrangements for foreigners to China in a timely manner according to the needs of epidemic prevention and control and personnel exchanges. Now Sign Home has compiled for everyone what precautions Japanese nationality applicants have when applying for Chinese business visas:

1. Visa Center accepts visa applications from Japanese citizens or citizens of other countries legally residing in Japan. If you are not in Japan when you apply for a visa, your application will not be accepted. Please submit your application to the visa center of your current country, or apply after you return to Japan.

2. Chinese embassies and consulates have their own consular districts. Please submit your visa application to the visa center in your consular district.

3. Visa applications must be filled in online and reserved online. Certification applications must be reserved online, and will not be accepted without reservation.

此外，根据国内最新要求，办理日本来华商务签证人员认真阅读以下内容，按要求进行检测并申请健康码。   

In addition, according to the latest domestic requirements, the staff handling Japanese business visas to China carefully read the following contents, take tests as required and apply for health codes.   

签之家提醒您，一般人员须在起飞前两天内进行两次核酸检测，具体要求如下：

You should be reminded that the general staff should conduct nucleic acid testing twice within two days before taking off. The specific requirements are as follows:

1、第1次核酸检测，请前往长期提供赴华检测服务的机构或日本厚生劳动省公布的其他检测机构进行，时间按“航班日期-2”计算

For the first nucleic acid test, please go to the institution that has provided testing services to China for a long time or other testing institutions announced by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan. The time is calculated according to the "flight date -2"

2、第2次核酸检测，须在起飞前24小时内完成，请前往符合检测时限等技术要求的机构进行，注意两次核酸检测不能为同一机构，时间按“航班起飞时间-24小时”计算

The second nucleic acid test must be completed within 24 hours before departure. Please go to an institution that meets the technical requirements such as the test time limit. Please note that the two nucleic acid tests cannot be the same institution, and the time is calculated according to "flight departure time -24 hours".

3、申请健康码：在最晚提交时限前上传申码资料完成健康码申请。请一定完整上传历次核酸报告和其他申请材料，切勿只上传1张检测报告

Apply for health code: upload the application information before the latest submission deadline to complete the application for health code. Please upload all previous nucleic acid reports and other application materials, and do not upload only one test report.

4、行前两次核酸检测均可跨领区进行，您可自行选择距离较近、方便出行、收费合理的机构进行检测。各检测机构的检测效率、工作时间、节假日接诊与否、预约方式等各有不同，请务必事先预约确认

Before the trip, the two nucleic acid tests can be carried out across the consular district. You can choose an institution with a short distance, convenient travel and reasonable fees for testing. The testing efficiency, working hours, whether or not to be admitted on holidays, and the way of making an appointment are different from each testing institution. Please make an appointment to confirm in advance.

现在由于来华政策的放宽，从日本申请来华商务签证比之前好办理，但有些人选择在电商平台上找机构办理签证，结果出现被拒签情况。上周，就有一个真实发生的案例，日籍华人L女士自行在某宝上找了一个所谓的办理机构，后来的办理来华商务签证因材料问题一波三折。由于某宝系统平台内卷原因，部分办理机构价格较低且从业公司素质较低，并不是每一家都如签之家一样专业。

Now, due to the relaxation of the policy of coming to China, it is easier to apply for a business visa from Japan than before. However, some people choose to find an institution to apply for a visa on the e-commerce platform, and as a result, the visa is refused. Last week, there was a real case. Ms. L, a Japanese Chinese, found a so-called handling agency on a treasure by herself. Later, when she applied for a business visa to China, there were twists and turns due to material problems. Due to the internal volume of a certain treasure system platform, the prices of some handling institutions are low and the quality of the companies engaged in them is low, so not every one is as professional as Sign Home.
