american traveling to china

Question

I am an American tourist planning to do an Asia Trip. I will be traveling to China for 1 week from Thailand. If I apply at the DC office which visa should I apply for and how long does it typically take? Will they be able to email me a visa letter or will I have to have a hard copy at the airport? Will be leaving in approx 2 weeks for my Asia trip, however China is my last country on this 5 week trip.

You can apply for a tourist L type for one-week visit for PRC. It will take 4 working days to process your application after you submit it. You cannot mail your application to the embassy of PRC. You should submit in person or find a friend to submit it for you. Usually, the tourist L type is valid for 3 months, so it can work even though China is the last country on your 5-week Asia trip.
