Tourist visa from nigeria

Pat, you can get a tourist L type from the embassy. The invitation is not a must. If you can't get it, you can ptrovide round-trip tickets and hotel booking records.

The other required documents are your passport and its copy, and an application form attached with your recently-taken color bare-headed photo.

There is no tourist visa for Nigerian individuals as per china policy. However, if you still plan to apply tourist visa then you should book a "paid tour" from qualified tour operators in China and they will get you an official letter " invitation letter of duly authorized unit" issue from CHINA TOURISM BUREAU. Business visa is still easy in Nigeria and not required to paid hotel booking.
