Hey! We are USA citizens. My son is studying in China but he hold a Chinese L visa expedited on May 2023. Now the government is asking us to change the visa category from a L visa to X visa. The local government said that they can’t do it from here that we need to travel to Korea.. I don’t understand the reason but I need to know if as Americans we are able to get an X Chinese visa for my son from South Korea and if yes; the how long it takes! Thank you!

00ReplyThe documents are different for different types of visas. For L tourist type, the documents are passport, application form, your South Korea stay permit, round-trip flight tickets and hotel orders or an invitation letter from China entity. You need to fill in the application form online (cova.mfa.gov.cn) and make an appointment online to submit the doucments to China Visa Application Service Center at your place.
