New Jersey is covered from outside its own borders, under the jurisdiction the two governments agreed in June 2024.
Which Chinese consulate covers New Jersey?

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
The paperwork is done from home. The journey is for the document, not for the file.
