Applicants who hold ordinary passports and tend to stay in China Mainland for more than 30 days are requested to submit their visa applications to the CVASC.  

Applicants holding diplomatic, official or service passports or applicants and planning to stay in China Mainland for more than 30 days and applicants applying for Chinese diplomatic, official and courtesy visas should still submit the application directly to the Embassy.

Do you retain our passport for the visa application?
I am a airline crew staff and is applying for L-Visa to Shanghai in July 2023. Do you keep my passport during the application? If yes, how can I get it back within 1 or 2 working days? I need my passport for work.
Please advise. Thank you very much.

As I know, they will keep the passport during the application. You may apply for a rush service whose processing time is usually 2 working days.
