China D Visa and Permanent Residence Confirmation
The D visa is for a person approved to reside permanently and requires the Confirmation Form for Foreigner's Permanent Residence Status.
Official baseline: Built from the Chinese Embassy in
the U.S. September 2025 requirements and COVA guidance; case-specific
evidence may be requested.
Documents and planning points
- Complete the China-side permanent-residence approval process first
- Use the official confirmation form at the visa stage
- Match passport details exactly across the approval and COVA
- A D visa application does not itself create permanent-residence eligibility
Common mistakes
- Copying another applicant's category, timing or document outcome.
- Allowing COVA to conflict with inviter, employer or supporting records.
- Treating a requested category or assistance service as an approval guarantee.
