Travel Permit

Hi, i need to get my child a travel permit, how long is the turn around time for this and is there a rush service?

Answered by Holly | Sep. 05, 2023 00:01

Do you mean a China visa? It usually takes 4 working days after all documents are submitted. The rush service takes 2-3 working days.

Answered by Mathew | Sep. 05, 2023 04:06

No, so china requires my son to obtain a travel permit not a visa for entry and exit from the country.

Answered by James | Sep. 05, 2023 18:46

Hi, Mathew, a travel permit generally requires the same time with a visa, 4 working days.
