For non-commercial exchanges, study tours, scientific cooperation, or cultural visits — APVI manages your F visa from invitation review to consulate submission.
F visa applications require precise invitation-letter wording — incorrect phrasing is the #1 cause of rejection. Let our specialists review it first.












The F visa covers a range of non-commercial exchange purposes, each with specific documentation requirements. Our China specialists know exactly what each consulate expects.
We prepare the F visa paperwork and submit directly to the Chinese consulate. You focus on your exchange.
Choose your visa type and processing speed. Tell us when you're traveling — we work backward from that date.
Upload your application online for review. We email a prepaid overnight FedEx label for your originals.
We submit directly to the consulate and overnight your stamped passport back to your door.

Most F visa rejections trace back to a single line in the invitation letter. Our team reviews every letter against current consulate standards before you submit.
