Under this initiative, eligible overseas businesspeople can apply for a multiple-entry, 180-day visa (M visa or equivalent) valid for up to five years. Applicants are not required to provide fingerprints and can authorize others to handle the application on their behalf. Additionally, they will only be charged the fee for a one-year multiple-entry visa, streamlining the process for frequent business travelers.
