SIMPLIFIED VISITOR VISA
Visiting the United States or Canada in the past 10 years, or currently holding a valid US visa or APEC card will greatly simplify the visa list, and the signing rate is greatly improved.
Because there is no essential difference between a visitor visa and a tourist visa, a simplified visitor visa does not involve relatives or travel. It is only necessary to write a letter explaining the purpose of the visit.
This category can be submitted by post or by post in the Visa Center or online.

You can usually stay for half a year for each entry. If you have not enough time for half a year, you can apply for an extension.
