Hi all
Please forgive me if this is off topic. We’re travelling to China as part of a bigger tour in March. Does anyone have experience of the visa process, or the various companies which claim to do it all for you? Simple single entry tourist visa for myself and wife.
thanks

I don’t believe companies can organise it for you any longer. They may assist you with the form but each passenger needs to attend the visa centre in person to have fingerprints and photo taken (to check against the one supplied with the form). I don’t think they operate the appointment system any longer, and you can expect to wait quite a long time at the visa centre to be seen. Once your application has been accepted, you should be able to collect your passport in about three days. It’s cash/debit card only.
