What you can settle without going to the consulate
- 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
- work out which office covers you, which decides where your file can even be accepted
Check the office page for counter hours before setting off: they are narrower than the building's.
