Chicago Notary Office - China Visa Service

Tourist Visa

A Tourist Visa is required for leisure travel to China. Individuals who wish to enter China for tourism purposes will need an L visa, which has a duration of between 60 to 90 days. The China visa can also be on a multiple-entry, double-entry, or single-entry basis. Canada and U.S. citizens may qualify for a multiple-entry China visa, valid for ten years.

Our team will assist you in preparing and submitting the necessary documents to ensure a smooth process.
