Company Contact Person 单位联系人
Business contact only - do not replace the Inviting Organization name in COVA with this person's name.

2. Invited Applicant 被邀请人

Use the same identity and employment information entered in COVA.

Why This M Visa Invitation Template Separates the Company and Contact Person

The inviting organization and the individual company contact are not the same field. ChinaVisaMail recently handled an urgent M-visa case in which incorrect inviter information caused the COVA application to be returned for correction, costing roughly three business days before passport submission could move forward.

That is why this template keeps the inviting company, company contact person, applicant and legal representative clearly separated.
