I am Canadian living near Dusseldorf, DE. How do I get a visa to China? How long does it take?

Debra, what’s your purpose to PRC? If it’s for tourism purpose, a tourist L type is required. The first thing is to provide these materials containing your residence permit in Germany, your passport and copy of its data page, the application form affixed with a half-length color photo, two-way flight tickets and accommodation booking record. Next, submit the application to the CVASC in Frankfurt. It usually takes 4 working days after the submission of your application.
