Crew visas are unique. We handle them every day.
C visas require airline-issued documentation, exact crew classification, and tight turnaround. APVI works directly with airline operations and consulates to keep your crew moving.
- Direct submission to the Chinese embassies in Washington DC and New York
- Airline letter and crew documentation review
- Dedicated specialist for aviation accounts
- Bulk processing for multi-crew rosters
The credentials behind every APVI application.
Three steps. That's it.
We prepare your C visa application with airline documentation and submit directly to the consulate. Your crew stays on rotation.
Place your order
Choose your visa type and processing speed. Tell us when you're traveling — we work backward from that date.
Submit documents
Upload your application online for review. We email a prepaid overnight FedEx label for your originals.
Get your visa
We submit directly to the consulate and overnight your stamped passport back to your door.
Avoid grounded crew, and missed rotations.
Crew visa rejections often come down to mismatched airline documentation or missing operator certifications. Our specialists catch these before submission.
The DIY path
- Confusing airline-document requirements
- Wrong jurisdiction = automatic rejection
- Missing operator certifications
- Outdated post-pandemic crew policy info
- Rotation at risk if anything goes wrong
The APVI path
- Expedited processing for tight rotation windows
- Pre-submission review of all airline documentation
- Correct jurisdiction confirmed for your base
- Crew classification validated against current policy
- Bulk processing + dedicated aviation specialist

We offer expedited C visa processing tailored to airline rotation schedules. Most crew visas are completed within 3–7 business days of consulate submission.
The C visa is China's crew visa, issued to pilots, flight attendants, train crew, and other international transport personnel performing duties to and from China.
An official airline letter on company letterhead, crew ID, employment confirmation, and operator certification. Our specialists work with your airline ops team to assemble these correctly.
Yes. We specialize in bulk crew processing with a dedicated account manager, consolidated billing, and unified status reporting for your entire roster.
Generally no. We handle submission on your behalf. Some jurisdictions may require fingerprinting — we'll advise based on your crew base location.
We pre-validate every document to minimize this risk. If an issue arises, we work directly with the consulate to resolve it as fast as possible to protect your rotation.
