Paperwork...and more...and more...and more...and more... Legal-Eaze can obtain visas for you from any country. Our busiest consulate, however, is the NYC Chinese Consulate.
Visas for China The NYC Chinese Consulate only accepts visa applications in person. No mail-in service is available (since May 1, 2003). We are able to process visas for everyone no matter what state you live in. The NYC Chinese Consulate charges $130 (effective 01/21/08) per visa, for normal 4 business day turnaround time. All visas can now be multiple-entry and valid for use within 24 months. Chinese visas can be obtained in as little as one (1) day for an additional Consulate fee of $30 per visa* and two (2) days for an additional Consulate fee of $20 per visa. However, we do recommend that you plan ahead to avoid any additional last minute stress. Chinese visas are now valid for 24 months from the date of issuance for a maximum stay of 30 days per visit. However, you must check the “multi-entry” box on the visa application or they will issue you a single-entry visa even though you are paying for a multi-entry visa. You must be prepared to have six (6) months remaining on your passport at the time your visa expires. *same day service if offered but not guaranteed. The Consulate will only process for same day service if the visa application is logged in by 12:00 Noon. Sometimes the lines are too long and we’re not able to submit the paperwork by Noon. In that case, the visa application is logged in for next day service and a refund is issued.
Legal-Eaze Fees for Obtaining Visas · Legal-Eaze Fee per Visa — $50* (fee is reduced to $35/visa if sending 10 or more applications at one time). *Price is strictly the fee for Legal-Eaze to obtain your visa. If you need same day turnaround, the Legal-Eaze fee is $100 per visa. Fees charged by the Consulate are additional. Overnight mailings are also not included and will be billed at $30 per shipment if no prepaid overnight mailer or credit card or fedex account number is provided.
