Passports Visas & More is a China Visa Service provider helping travelers obtain China visas. Our China Visa Office is located in Downtown Orlando and in the Coral Gables area of Miami. The information listed below allows PVM to apply for the Chinese visa on your behalf. You do not have to apply in person at the consulate. PVM will apply for you but in order to do so you must follow the steps below.
Please read before proceeding:The Embassy of China has instituted a new process for the visa that was implemented on September 30th, 2025. The process is significantly different than the old process and will require information to be uploaded to the application which is now an online form. We provide you with a fillable PDF version of the form below which asks the same questions the online Chinese application does and we use your responses to complete the online form. At that point we will then request an approval from the Embassy. Once the approval has been obtained we can then submit your passport to the Embassy for submission.
PVM China Visa Processing Fees:
9 – 10 Business Day Processing – $400.00 *Fees include consulate, service and shipping fees to and from PVM*
6 – 8 Business Day Processing – $500.00 *Fees include consulate, service and shipping fees to and from PVM*
Please note the pricing above details in person visits to our office in either Orlando or Miami. For clients who would like to mail in their documentation we do charge an additional $75.00. This includes a fedex label to ship the documentation to our office.
*Fees include Fedex shipping to and from PVM and our office in DC. Processing times start once the application is completed, approval has been granted by the Embassy and we have all the documents we need to submit to the embassy. For further information on shipping fees please see the application form below.
How Do I Proceed?
PVM requires you to complete our fillable PDF version of the Chinese application form (listed Step 1, Letter A). We also ask that you review and provide scans of the requirements in Step 1. PVM operates by appointment only for in person visits and will only make an appointment when we are provided a fillable PDF version of our Chinese application and are able to review it.
Simply follow the 3 blue blocks and the requirements given for each step. These steps are as follows: Step 1 – gather and prepare the documents, Step 2 – email a copy of your documents for review and prepare to come to our office or ship your documents, Step 3 – We send your original documents to our DC office for application submission.
China Business Visa
STEP 1- Gather and prepare the required documents
A. Application form (Click here for Application)
Please use the link above to fill out the form. This application is a PVM form which we will use to complete the application form on the actual Chinese Application website for you. Unfortunately, the Chinese consulate requires that all sections of the application be filled which is why we proceed in this manner. Please do not leave any question blank including the flight information. Completing the application without specific and correct information will cause you to have to redo the application. Once you have this completed please email it to us at info@passportsvisasandmore.com
B. Invitation letter from China (See Sample)
The invite must come from a company in mainland China. It is the responsibility of the traveler to secure a proper invite. The invite must have the information listed below on it. Any deviation from these requirements will require a new invite and if the invite is different from what is on your application a new invite will be required. It must have the following details:
- Name and passport number
- Your purpose of entry
- Dates of travel
- Must be on company letterhead with a phone number and address
- Company letter must be signed by someone in the company and must list their name and title.
- Inviter must sign by his/her name
- Letter must have a RED seal…the consulate no longer accepts invites with blue seals
C. Drivers License
Clear copy of your valid driver’s license or a copy of your utility bill showing your full address. We mainly work with travelers who reside in Florida. If your driver’s license is not from Florida please let us know. We may still be able to help you but the process may be different.
D. Valid Passport
A valid passport that has 2 facing pages marked “Visa” not “Amendments and endorsements”. The consulate generally gives US passport holders a 10-year visa provided their passports have more than 2 years of validity remaining. That said, there are instances where the consulate will issue a shorter-term visa and will not give specific reasons for it other than “consular discretion”. In order to apply for any visa your passport must be valid for 6 months and must be signed.
E. 1 Passport sized photo
We can take photos in our office. If you decide to do photos on your own please click here to see passport photo regulations.
F. Clear copy of your most recent China visa or detailed letter explaining why you cannot provide a copy of your visa. If your visa is in your old passport you must turn in your old passport. The reason is because the consulate insists on cancelling this visa so they can issue a new one. If you cannot provide a copy of the old visa the consulate will make you draft a letter explaining the circumstances why you cannot submit a copy of it. They will not accept a 1 paragraph letter. You must detail what happened.
G. A clear copy of any previous passports you may have had from another country as well as any visas for China you may have obtained under that visa. Please note that the consulate may ask to see this passport and will look to see where you have entered and may require information about these previous trips. Seeing where you have been is the sole purpose for asking for the other passport in this case.
H. Signed “Where Are You” form (Click here to see the form)
I. Detailed letter explaining the nature of any trip taken to Turkey and/or Kenya. This applies if you have a entry or exit stamp from the country of Turkey or Kenya in your passport. The consulate will insist you write a letter explaining the nature of the trip in detail. If your passport or any previous passport requested by the consulate has a stamp showing entry into Turkey or Kenya the consulate will require a letter. If you do not include a letter the process will be held up or outright denied. This is the responsibility of the applicant…PVM is not responsible for looking through your passport to verify whether or not you have an entry stamp into Turkey or Kenya.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You do not have to go in person to the Chinese Embassy. We will submit your documentation for you and that is included in the pricing. However, we do require appointments to visit our office to complete your documentation and complete a thorough review. If there are errors or the application gets rejected a new application must be done and we will have to reapply. For this reason it is critical to be precise on your application the first time around.
Travelers who have had previous visas would do well to approach the process as if they have never had a visa before. The process is totally different and things that you were able to do previously you will no longer be able to do. Especially with regards to the invite letter. PVM reserves to right to decide who we chose to work with. We will only do so with travelers who provide the documents we ask. We will refuse any requests from travelers who expect us to deviate from our listed requirements. Thank you.
The Chinese Consulate
The Chinese consulate has begun paying particular attention to your previous travels. As a result, they are paying particular attention to travelers who have made multiple trips to areas of the world that have a high level of unrest or terroristic activities. This especially includes areas in the Middle East. If the consulate sees entry into such an area they may request a letter explaining the nature of that particular trip. They have not given us a list of such countries and it is at their discretion.
If you have a valid 10 year visa issued before March 28,2020 the consulate has begun honoring that visa as long as it remains valid and there are no changes to your name, sex and birth information. For more information on this please see the consulate website for further details. China has stated that any preexisting 10 year visa that was issued before March 28, 2020 will be acceptable for entry into China as long as the visa remains valid. We do not verify if a visa is still valid or not.
STEP 2- Email a copy of the listed requirements to PVM at info@passportsvisasandmore.com
Please send us by email the application form found in Step 1, Letter A along with scans of the passport information page, 2 blank facing pages, invitation letter and driver license. If you are unable to come to our office you must provide a JPG of a passport sized photo. CVS and Walgreen’s provide JPGs and can be sent to us. We will take your photo if you come to our office at no charge. Once your documents have been emailed to us, we will review your application and will get back to you with any questions or concerns we may have. After this we will then submit your application for an approval to the consulate. This process can take 24 to 48 hours. We will then make an appointment for you to come in and bring your passport and any other documents we may need after reviewing your application. If you are unable to come to our office you would have to be ready to send us your actual passport. Once your application is approved we will be ready for Step 3 below.
STEP 3- Prepare your documents to be sent to our Washington DC office so that they may be able to submit your documents for the visa.
Once your application and approved by the consulate will then ship your documents to our office in DC. You do not have to go to DC. We have an office in DC that will do the submission for you. We cannot guarantee the issuance of a 10 year visa as the embassy makes the final decision but we do everything necessary to put you in a position to obtain the 10 year visa. Once the visa has been issued the passport will be sent back using the shipping method you indicate.
