Tourist Visa (L)
Application Process
Applicants will have to collect required documents and send them to our office with any trackable mailing service (i.e. Fedex, USPS, UPS, etc.). Applicants can also drop the documents off to our office in person (4600 E. Washington Street #300, Phoenix, AZ 85034). When your visa has been approved, we either call you for pick-up or we mail the passport with the visa back to you right away.
Applicants for tourist or visitor’s visa (L visa) will need the following:
Required Documents
- Original passport valid for at least six months with at least one blank visa page remaining.
- For first-time applicants who were former Chinese citizens: You must submit your original Chinese passport if that Chinese passport has NOT been cut off on one corner (i.e., canceled) by the Chinese consulate. This passport will be returned upon completion of the visa application, with one corner cut off by the Chinese Consulate.
- For applicants under 16 years old: You must provide a copy of your birth certificate and a copy of BOTH parents’ passports and green cards (if applicable). If it is not their first time, child applicants just provide their original old Chinese visa.
- US applicants who were previously Chinese citizens and who changed their US passports (e.g., surname): You must submit your old US passport with your old Chinese visas and a copy of a certificate of name change (if applicable).
- Additional Requirements for Non-US Citizens with Green Card: You must send a copy of your U.S. Green Card.
- Online Visa Application Form: It is recommended that applicants complete the form on a computer to avoid any mistakes.
- Copy of driver’s license.
