Generally, the Express Service takes about 3 working days and you need to submit all the required documents to Chiang Mai visa service center before 11:00 am. You have to make an online appointment and fill out the application form first.

It will possibly be rejected if applying in the third country. Things may be different if you have a residence permit in Bangkok. Another important requirement is a business invitation letter from your Chinese trade partner.

The visa is not valid yet but will soon be. Once it turns valid, you can enter China with it directly. If it is still invlid before your departure, you need to apply for a new one.
