I am a British citizen and my wife is French, both living in Geneva.

Given my travel obligations prior to coming to China, can you indicate the following: a) Which documents are required to obtain our visas ? b) What is the minimum elapsed time to obtain the visas? c) does this require two trips from Geneva to Berne? d) in the event that you require more time than a morning to grant us a visa, do we have to leave our passports with you?
