Introduction:
It is possible to apply for China Visas at Chinese embassies and consulates worldwide. The requests must be made in person and cannot be submitted by post. Obviously, most travel agencies will help process your visa. You will not always be able to go in person to the Embassy or Consulate that has consular authority over the country/state where you live. Alternatively, a Click2visas who takes care of the procedure can be very useful to you. You give them the necessary documentation by mail, and they carry your visa application to the necessary consular office and process it. You can monitor the status of your application online, and if you don’t live near any of the consular offices, it’s really a nice option.
