I have US and UK citizenship and passports. I live in the US. I am traveling to China. Does it matter which passport I use to get visa?

I might not know how it matters but I would get it on the US passport assuming that the travel plan would be US-China-US. To keep things simple with CBP on re-entry, just in case. – Newton Jan 16 '18 at 12:16

US citizens can now receive 10-year visas to China. Although there has been some talk about this, I don’t believe these are normally issued to British citizens yet, so if you travel to China frequently and are interested in a 10-year visa, applying using your US passport would be best.

Do you need to specifically ask for it? When I applied for a Chinese visa with my US passport a little while ago, I got a 6 months validity. – Aleks G Jan 16 '18 at 16:30

1@AleksG It’s at their discretion but my understanding was that it’s given to most people by default, and I know people who have received it. Did you ask for multiple entries and have at least 12 months validity left on your passport? – Guan Yang Jan 16 '18 at 16:35

Yes to both. That said, this was about 3 years ago, so things may have changed. – Aleks G Jan 16 '18 at 17:01

@AleksG the ten-year visa arrangement was concluded in 2014, so I suppose your earlier application was approved before it took effect. See for example china-embassy.org/eng/visas/hrsq. – phoog Jan 17 '18 at 16:08

As You live in the US and have US citizenship you'd be best off applying for the 10 year visa in your US passport (You need to be both a US Citizen and a US resident to get the 10 year visa - at least that was the case when i got mine in 2016).
With a UK passport most people receive a 2 year visa.
