I have a US passport visiting Lebanon and would like to visit China, traveling from Lebanon. How can I get a China visa?

If you will accompany your husband, you can either apply for a business visa as his or apply for a tourist visa from Chinese embassy in Lebanon. Basic requirements are your original passport of more than six months validity with a blank visa page; One completely-filled application form with one recent passport size photo. You may also be required to provide a tourist visa invitation from a Chinese tour agency, hotel reservation information or a photocopy of the actual airline ticket to China. If for business visa application, your name should be written in the official invitation to your husband from related Chinese government departments or companies / organizations authorized by Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The visa processing time is at least 4 working days.
