You need to collect the required documents first and then submit the application to the Chinese embassy to apply for an M visa. The required documents include your passport, application form, recently-taken passport style photo, an invitation letter from your business partner in China, and the PU or TE invitation letter.

Student visa

Answered by Daisy | Oct. 31, 2019 18:32

In principle, the financial proof should be yours or your parents'. You can contact the embassy to see if the one from your host family works.
