Chinese consulates in Kentucky
Kentucky is one of nine states served from Washington that never had anything closer. Lexington is 510 miles from the Embassy.
There is no Chinese consulate in Kentucky. Files from residents go to a single office, and the choice is not yours.

What you can settle without going to the consulate
- work out which office covers you, which decides where your file can even be accepted
- apply for a Hong Kong entry visa through the e-Visa service of the Hong Kong Immigration Department
- check the validity, entries and duration on a visa you already hold before assuming you need a new one
Nothing here needs an appointment, so the only thing to plan is the drive.
