Chinese consulates in Kansas
Kansas belongs to the Chicago district, which puts Wichita 709 miles from its consulate, the longest haul in the Midwest.
China divides the United States among four consulates general and the Embassy in Washington. Kansas falls to one of them, and only that one can accept an application from a resident here.

What you can settle without going to the consulate
- fill in the whole visa form and upload your documents on COVA, without leaving home
- 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
Check the office page for counter hours before setting off: they are narrower than the building's.
