Hi, I'm Brazilian and would like to apply to chinese visa.

Renata, according to the website of the embassy, applicants from other countries can apply directly fom the consular office. However, I read a post saying foreign applicants should apply for the tourist L type entry permit through travel agencies and they can apply other types on their own. So I think you have a chance to get it by yourself at the embassy.

Dear Renata,
Im in Tokyo right now and Im French. I would like also to get a Chinese tourist type valid 3months. Did you already go to the embassy? Can we go directly or should we do it via a travel agency?

Hello, i want to know if you solve your problem since i want to do the same get my visa to china in japan.
