    Asked on October 5th, 2025

    Thinking about going on your Nov trip with a friend, but not sure I can get a visa in time. I'm travelling with a British passport, but my friend has an American passport.

    Visa
    • Travel China GuideOperatorWritten October 2025

      Time is enough for you to apply for the China visa. Generally speaking, it takes 4 working days. 1 working day service and 2-3 working days service are available, but you need to pay extra money for the service. After you confirm and pay the tour, we can offer our company's invitation letters to assist your application.
