Is there a final word on how many blank visa pages China requires in one's passport in order to get a work visa?

It is not about how many pages you have left in your passport it is about the the expiration date of your passport. You need at least 6 months left on your passport. So if you want a 1 year working visa you need the passport to be valid for 1.5 years.

Plus you need a blank page for the visa. If you have less than 18 months validity on the passport then they will give you a visa only as long as the passport minus 6 months.

If the visa takes up your last blank page then travelling may be difficult if there is no space for entry/exit stamps.

I have read and heard (but conflicting information) that they require 5 blank visa pages in a valid passport.

When does your passport expire and how many pages left in your passport? Each page has a number or a letter.

It expires in several years, and there are 3 "visa" pages left. Does anyone know the answer to my question?

Yes, go get more pages put into your book.

How many blank pages does the Chinese government say to have in order to procure a work visa?

You'll need at least ONE blank page in your passport, so they can paste your visa in. But to exit - you'll need a blank square to stamp the exit stamp - which make 1.25 blank pages...so if you have less than 2 blank pages - best to level up.

Don't forget - if you renew your passport - you MUST report it to your local PSB (paiqusuo), to your employer - and if you opened bank accounts etc - you'll also need to update your bank account with the new passport.

If you have a driver's license - which is attached to your passport - you'll need to update that also...along with any other official documents tied to your passport...

Been asking the same question for an awful long time. The answer once agian is go put more pages in your passport. Same answer you got on the other 3 threads.
