A simplified procedure for short visits of foreign experts to China took effect on Sunday, according to State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs.

The regulation allows the local bureaus of State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs to review and approve applications submitted by employers. Invited foreign experts could apply for a visitor visa for China within 90 days after getting positive feedback from them.

Required material includes application forms, invited foreign experts' identity information and invitation released by the employers. All these review and approve work would be done online.
