How it works
Three steps. That's it.
We prepare your L visa application and submit directly to the Chinese consulate. You handle the sightseeing.
01
Place your order
Choose your visa type and processing speed. Tell us when you're traveling — we work backward from that date.
02
Submit documents
Upload your application online for review. We email a prepaid overnight FedEx label for your originals.
03
Get your visa
We submit directly to the consulate and overnight your stamped passport back to your door.
DIY vs. APVI
Skip the rejection risk, and save your trip.
Most travelers don't realize how easy it is for an L visa to be bounced back over a missing hotel reservation or wrong jurisdiction — until they're already past their travel date.
Without APVI
The DIY path
- Confusing forms and shifting consulate rules
- Wrong consulate jurisdiction = automatic rejection
- Missing or incorrect itinerary details
- Outdated post-pandemic policy info
- Trip at risk if anything goes wrong
With APVI
The APVI path
- Expedited processing options available
- Pre-submission review by a China visa specialist
- Correct jurisdiction confirmed for your state
- Itinerary validated against current policy
- Real-time tracking + dedicated specialist
