What you can settle without going to the consulate
- get a U.S. apostille from your Secretary of State. The consulate stopped authenticating documents in November 2023
- check whether your trip qualifies for the 240-hour visa-free transit before you pay for any visa at all
- fill in China’s online arrival card in the days before you fly
The paperwork is done from home. The journey is for the document, not for the file.
