How it works from the US
There is no Chinese Visa Application Service Center in the US. The visaforchina.cn centre list has no US entry, and the embassy sends every application to its own visa offices.
- Fill in the application online, on COVA
The embassy's online system, launched on 30 September 2025: you fill in the form and upload documents, including proof that you live in the US. Embassy
- Hand in the passport, yourself or through an agent
When COVA shows “Passport to be submitted”, you or an agent bring the passport and the barcode page to the visa office: the embassy in Washington, DC or the consulates-general in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles or Chicago, by the state you live in. Walk-in, no appointment; no mail-in. Embassy
- Collect and pay
Regular service takes 4 business days, express 3 (for urgent travel, with proof). Pay at pick-up by Visa or Mastercard, money order or cashier's check. Embassy
The embassy's visa office: 2201 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Suite110, Washington, D.C. 20007 U.S.A. Office Hours: 9:30-14:30 (Monday to Friday, closed on weekends and holidays) (embassy, read 1 Nov 2026).
Official fees
| Item | US citizens |
|---|---|
| Visa fee | USD 140, any number of entries |
| Express service | + USD 25 per visa; 3 business days instead of 4 |
The embassy keeps these reduced fees “until December 31, 2026”; fees from 2027 are not published yet. Fees for other nationals living in the US are in the same embassy table.
When you may not need a visa
- 240-hour transit. US citizens travelling through China to a third country can enter visa-free at 65 designated ports and stay up to 10 days in permitted areas, with an onward ticket with a confirmed seat. National Immigration Administration · read 1 Nov 2026
- Hainan, 30 days. US passport holders are among 61 nationalities who can visit Hainan Province visa-free for up to 30 days. National Immigration Administration · read 1 Nov 2026
- Not on the 30-day list. The embassy's list of 50 countries whose citizens may visit China visa-free for up to 30 days does not include the United States. Embassy · read 1 Nov 2026
Red flags for China visas
- An offer to post your passport to the embassy: the embassy takes no applications by mail.
- A booking fee for a “Chinese visa application centre” in the US: there is none.
- A quote that doesn't show the embassy's fee (USD 140 for US citizens until 31 December 2026) apart from the agency's own fee.
- A promise of approval: the embassy or consulate decides, and a consular officer may call you for an interview.
FAQ
What is the best Chinese visa service?
We don't rank them. Compare what each one does on its own website, whether it publishes its fee, and whether it takes the fee before or after the visa is issued, as Seattle Chinese Visa says it does.
How much does a China visa cost?
USD 140 for US citizens, any number of entries, until 31 December 2026; express adds USD 25. If you use an agency, its own fee comes on top.
Can I mail my China visa application?
No. The embassy does not accept applications by mail: you or an agent hand in the passport at the embassy or a consulate-general, walk-in, no appointment.
