About:Visa Policy of China

How long in advance can I get my visa?

I am a US citizen and am planning travel to mainland china in October this year. I would like to go ahead and get my entry permit now but I'm wondering how long it will be valid for "enter before"? Since my trip is about 4 months away I didn't want the entry permit to expire before my trip. Are they valid to be used 6 months after issued?

Rob, usually, you can apply for it 3 months prior to your trip because the validity of an entry permit is 3 months. So you are not advised to apply for it now and in most cases, one is advised to apply for it one month earlier before his/her trip.
If you want to apply for it now, you can try to apply for one with multiple-entries for 6 months.
Or if you hold USA passport, you can apply for a 10-year one which costs the same as other types.
