Fees and Timing

Visa fees for the China K visa vary by nationality and the level of service selected (standard, express, or urgent). Some visa centers also charge a separate service fee. Because prices can change, always consult the latest fee table published by your local embassy, consulate, or visa center before your appointment.

Processing time depends on location and season, but many applications are decided within a standard window such as [X–Y] business days after acceptance. Express or urgent services may be available for an additional fee; availability can be limited and may require an earlier appointment time or specific documentation.

Payment methods differ across locations—some accept only cash or bank drafts, while others support cards. Check accepted methods in advance to avoid surprises on the day of submission. Keep all receipts in case you need to track your application or query a payment later.
