ReplyPassport only or passport AND Visa to visit Shanghai for 10 days?
My son teaches English at one of the colleges in China and I am going to visit him for 12 days at the end of August and the beginning of September, respectively, so I can be there for the birth of my grandchild. I do not know what paperwork, other than a Passport, that I will need to go there. Can you please help me with the details of the required items that are needed and where I must go to obtain these?

00ReplyYou can apply for L type, and you need to prepare your passport and copy of its data page, a completed application form, and a passport-style photo, round trip air tickets, and hotel booking record or an invitation letter from your son. You can apply from the consulate general where your living area belongs to.

00ReplyYou cannot mail to Chicago. You need to apply from the consulate in Chicago. You can find someone else to do that on your behalf if you cannot go there in person.
