can an american citizen apply for a chinese visa at the chinese embassy in costa rica?

Question

I am an American citizen currently teaching English as a foreign language in Costa Rica, but only on a tourist type. I am planning on going to China after I finish teaching here, and I need to apply  before I go. I will be applying for a single entry, 3 month one. Do I have to go back to the United States to apply, or can I apply here in Costa Rica before I leave?

Hi Annie! As you are just holding the tourist type entry permit in Costa Rica, it’s hard to say whether your application will be approved. Anyway, if you have a valid work permit there, you can still have a try, but I’m afraid you cannot get the 3 month one if you are just visiting China for leisure purposes. Even though you are applying in your home country, it’s difficult to obtain the 3 month single entry type.

Hi Annie,I am just wondering if were able to obtain your Chinese visa in Costa Rica or did you have to return to the United States?

Annie · Answer

Hi David,I ended up returning to the United States early for other reasons, so I had enough time to apply for and get my visa before leaving for China. I wish I could give you more advise on getting a Chinese Visa, but the company I was teaching for did most of the work to get it! I know they had to sponsor me, even just to get a tourist visa.
