Chinese Visa Application Service Center

In case this helps anyone, I had to fly from Chiang Mai to Bangkok because the Chiang Mai office has been closed. I’m a US citizen applying for a tourist (L) visa. I did the online application which for some reason took 3 weeks to review. They then requested an additional document and it took another 2 weeks before I got the “online review completed” (I applied 2 months in advance of my trip) I chose express, arrived just after 9am on a Monday with the email printed out that they send you, plus the first and last page of the application. I also brought printed copies of everything and a backup photo just in case there was an issue but none of that was needed. Was told to come back Wednesday starting at 1pm. My online status that it was ready didn’t update until 12:30pm Wednesday and I didn’t get any type of email that it was ready, so just check the online status before going. I got there a little after 1pm, waited for about 20 minutes and was given my passport back with my tourist visa! The employees were very kind, they double checked the visa I was applying for and duration, and everything was easy! Results may vary (as evidenced by other reviewers here) depending on visa type, and if you have all the documents uploaded correctly for the online application. Hope this helps someone!
