About:Chinese Embassy in Philippines

Will the Chinese Consulate Office in CEBU be open on January 16, 2012?

Will the Chinese Consulate Office in CEBU be open on January 16, 2012? I would like to submit my visa on January 16, 2012 because I need to expedite processing it. I want to know if the office will be open by then. Normally, are there long lines for the visa application ? I was told by the agency that if I process it personally, it will take me a long time because of the long lines. Is this true? I would greatly appreciate answers and feedbacks. Thank you.

Chinese Consulate Office in Cebu is open on January 16, 2012, it will be closed from January 23, 2012 to January 27, 2012 for Chinese Spring Festival. It's true that there are long lines for the visa application, it will take you a long time because of the long lines. However, if you ask a travel agency to apply it for you, you need to pay service fee for the agency besides the visa fee.

I inquired an agency about it and it would cost me 10 thousand pesos. I think it is just too much. If I process it personally, it will only cost me less than 2 thousand pesos. This will be my second visa application. I have been granted a Chinese visa last year.

Sam, yes, if it is the second time for you to apply a China visa, you can make the application in person, it justs costs 1,400 pesos for a single entry visa. The agence charges you too much!
