Can I apply for a multiple entry visa?
Please be informed multiple entry visa is now under tight control. To see if you are qualified for a multiple entry visa, please answer following questions:
1) Do you hold US passport?
2) Does your passport have at least 2 blank visa pages?
3) Does your passport have at least 15 months validity left for 12 months visa, 9 months validity left for 6 months visa?

If your answer is no to any of the questions, you are not qualified for the multiple entry visa. Please also note the decision to grant or deny the multiple entry visa to China lays entirely with the Chinese Consulate.
