Chinese Visa Cost

Chinese Visa Cost varies greatly depending on your nationality, the number of times you need to enter, the country you are applying for and whether you want to express service. Typically, the cost of a U.S. citizen is $140, while the cost of a citizen of another country is $30 to $90. Usually, you pay when you get a visa, but in some areas, you have to pay when you apply.

In most countries, embassies and consulates charge fees based on the number of visa entries issued. In general, the more arrivals you get, the higher the visa fee. In some countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, citizens are required to pay a fixed fee regardless of the number of applicants. In addition, express service requires extra money.
