My family of 4 went to the office on a Saturday morning at 10:00. They handled everything from A to Z. Great and friendly staff.

What a pleasure it was doing business with China Visa Atlanta. Honestly, I expected to walk-in and wait for hours and was nervous that no one would take the time to carefully check every last detail on our China Visa applications. This was certainly not the case. The prompt service, attention to detail, professionalism and knowledge exhibited by your staff put our family at ease. We left knowing we were in good hands and will certainly highly recommend your services to all our family and friends. Our only regret is since we're embarking on a nine-month world cruise you don't offer visa services to the other 64 countries we will be visiting. If you did, we would be back in a heartbeat! read more

We drove 2 1/2 hours one way to get there because we need a visa for China. It was quite a wait, no appointments are needed, except on Saturdays. The bathroom key is on the wall in the office so if you need the bathroom, don't be surprised when all the doors are locked down the hall. They were helpful, filled out all our paperwork for us, took our pictures, it took about 2 1/2 hours. Not cheap, $770 for two phases and we have to wait 6 to 8 weeks to get them. read more

Atlanta China Visa Office will get you your visa! David & Emily work very hard at keeping all customers happy! This is the place that I've been coming to since 2012. Each time they have completed the task for travel visas & now family visa. I recommend sending your visa by this group instead of traveling to Washington D.C. to the embassy yourself. Save time & money! read more

Atlanta China Visa Office - Shanghai, China - Passport & Visa Services Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

I deeply appreciated this office to quickly process my emergency Chinese Visa application. A very reliable working chain to the visa office of Chinese embassy in Washington DC. Totally only five working days my passport with the new visa arrival on my hands. Also easy to track every steps by phone. I definitely want to give their service as five star level. Thank you for your great job! Allen Liu read more

ACVO was so helpful to our family. We were late getting our visa application in and David and his staff didn't bat an eye. They helped us navagate the very confusing process and we got our visa's in no time 3 weeks ahead of departure!!! Whewwwwww!! Friendly folks that know their stuff. Would use them again for sure. read more

Service- Efficient - Fast: after reading the reviews and seeking a local office to process visas for a trip to Shanghai- Beijing- Hanzhou - Sanzhou in April my party of 8 loaded up and headed South. 1 fast service 2 photos processed quickly 3 paperwork reviewed for any errors 4 tips and suggestions during our travels 5 friendly staff 6 divide and conquer 7 fast payment processing = 5 stars Other agencies wanted $300 per visa to prep and process through the Embassy PLUS the Embassy fee of $140! RIDICULOUS.... talking about price gouging!??? Here the rate that was reasonable. I believe the standard rate is $220 per person. I'm not posting our rate as we received a discount and a free photo due to having a group of 10. 8 present and 2 visiting the secondary location. If you complete your paperwork as directed you'll be in aww how quickly this process takes. 5 minutes maybe? If you're a little overwhelmed with the application process yet have all documents in tow you have the very best agents assisting you in ensuring your paperwork is in order. Also as noted in other reviews this office goes above and beyond ensuring your visa is processed ASAP! I look forward to updating this review once our visas are received. 1 business days in the current processing time. read more

I'd probably have given the China Visa Office 4 and 1/2 stars, but the 1/2 isn't an option. The website is EXTREMELY suspect and the building where it's located is very nondescript, but the woman that took my visa application for processing was UBER pleasant and helpful. If you forget your copy of the front page of your passport and your driver's license, they will make the copy for you free of cost. I made the mistake of leaving my actual travel voucher and brought my travel itinerary instead, but was able to e-mail her my actual voucher right there on site, from my phone - BANG!!! They will also take your visa photo for $5, if you don't have 1 or are unable to get 1 before going to the office. Don't let your American sensibilities and cultural expectations throw you off. With the nearest consulate office being in Houston and your options being otherwise limited, enjoy the ride and think about the final destination! read more

Jack and Emily helped me with my visa application back to China. Jack was extremely detail-oriented and very responsive - he would reply to all my emails and calls very promptly. Knowing that I needed my visa urgently, he would also go the extra mile and check USPS mail records every day to see if my visa came in. I was very happy with this experience, and would highly recommend anyone needing a Chinese visa to talk to these pros! 强力推荐China Visa。我通过China Visa顺利在挺短的时间内（3星期左右）收到了回国的签证。在这个过程中，Jack很细心地帮助我，在时间很紧的情况下一直帮我督促领事馆、查USPS的邮寄记录。我很高兴能够顺利收到我的签证，谢谢你们！ read more

Wow ! This place is fast. I came on a Saturday morning at 12 o'clock & there were two people in front of me & was done in 30 mins. I honestly waited longer than it took for the lady to process my application. Sianna is quick & very friendly. Definitely come here if you're in need of a Chinese visa. read more

I started my experience with this company through their error filled website. I initially thought it was a phishing site, and I still don't trust it completely because of the mistakes. I thought the actual only place in this city to get a Chinese visa would be more modern, beautiful, accurate and well organized. The visa office is located on the second floor of a nondescript office building (see photos). It was really not visually appealing and completely outdated. The inside of the office is very small. As soon as I opened the door, I was inside an office full of chairs, paperwork and people. It seemed like only 2 women were working in the office on that day, but it wasn't very busy. I was taken in very quickly and all of my information was processed quickly, almost too quickly, because she made a mistake that I pointed out and she fixed. Also, while she was holding my American passport, she asked me if I was American. Why would she do that? I can only assume... I know she didn't intend to offend me, but I was disappointed with that question and it only made me more concerned about the legitimacy of their company. There is a $5 charge for using credit card and I was already about to pay around $200 so I went to the ATM down the street to get cash and made sure to get a receipt for the cash. I chose the "multiple entries valid for 1 year from the date of issue" visa, and I'm happy I did. They kept my passport because the visa is actually affixed onto a page. I was worried about this, but I received my passport and visa in the two weeks they said it would take. I returned to the office to pick it up, but they have an option of sending it in the mail. I have returned from China and I didn't have any trouble with my visa or passport entering or exiting the country. I was concerned about this company, but in the end, everything turned out alright. This is really our only option in the state, so take it or leave it, but as the stars say "Meh. I've experienced better". read more

See all

Thank God for another Elite yelper submitting a review, because nothing about the website or the location would make you think that this is a legit place to leave your passport and identifiable information, but it is legit and honestly your only option if you want to get a China Visa in Georgia. Although the office looks a little sketchy the customer service was great. The people working in the office do whatever they can to help you submit your application correctly. I had printed out my travel itinerary ahead of time to submit with my application, but it didn't have all of the information that was needed, so they allowed me to email them the full itinerary packet from my travel agent right then and there and printed out the necessary documents for me. Also, they have a computer at the office for customers, so if you don't fill out an application ahead of time, you can fill it out in the office. I was a little scared to leave my passport at the office (which is required, because the visa goes inside your passport), but sure enough in about 2 1/2 weeks I got a call the my visa was granted and that I could pick up my passport. Sidenote/Tip: If you have an extra passport picture, you can use that versus paying them to take another picture of you. Update: I originally gave this location 3 stars based on the office, but actually the service I received bumps it up to 4 stars read more

Does the job!! I was heading out of the country to China in 2 months, and stopped by their office for help with my VISA application. Before arriving, I had already pre-filled a VISA application with my information. After a wait (it was busy on a Saturday afternoon), I was able to finish my application with 5 minutes. I dropped of my completed application, passport and check; they took a picture of me (this is included in the visa application price) and I was on my way. A week later, they texted me letting me know that my visa was ready for pick up. The pick up was really quick, took less than 2 minutes. I will note that the office is in a sketchy building, one that you would see in a horror movie as it is very quiet, empty, and one where I wouldn't dare venture into the restrooms or stairway. But nonetheless, I have my visa to China (unlimited entries that lasts 10 years). Plus, I can say that it worked since I traveled to Beijing for a trip in November and am back in the states! read more

I needed a visa to go to China for work. I went to their website and completed the forms and reviewed the info that explains the documentation that you need for the visa. Then I took everything to their offices. The young lady at the reception reviewed the documentation. I paid her and a week and a half later the visa arrived. I drove back to the office and picked it up. I mean straight forward. Don't worry about the what people say about the office. Its just an office to get the job done. Yup there is a $5 charge to use a credit card but so what, it offsets the cost the credit card company charges them, so they are just passing the cost on to you, like everyone else does. Since I have a 10 year visa I probably won't use them again for a while, but I would have no reservation to do so. read more

I am having my visa processed for a trip to China in two months, and stopped by the China Visa Office for help today. The building and parking lot is exactly like the previous comments: nondescript (a little shady), eerily quiet, and desolate. If not for the posters of China Airlines flight attendants outside the front door, I'd have turned away. But in true Chinese fashion (function over appearance), the folks here at the visa office were surprisingly friendly and helpful. The office was not much to look at, just like the building, but we're obviously not there for their decor. The folks at the office happily answered my questions, and from my brief visit, I felt confident that they were efficient, reliable and knowledgeable. I'd recommend them. Regarding the previous comment about being charged $5 for using a credit card, I can tell you that it's a common Asian practice, nothing to complain about, similar to our gas stations charging a different price for cash. Never judge a book...you know the rest! read more

I had a great experience here. I highly recommend them! I needed a visa last minute and they were able to help me get it in 2 days. David and Emily were super helpful and walked me through every step of the process. read more

I arrived at 1 in the afternoon on a Saturday and was out by 1:20!! It was so fast. I waited 10 minutes and then it took 10 minutes to review the paperwork and take the visa photo. This visit was for a 10-year tourist visa for a US Passport Holder. It is a small office that only has five seats in the lobby. They do take your passport for two weeks while the visa is being processed so you cannot travel out of the country while your visa is processing. My main point of advice is to review their website and get your paperwork in order. Read everything. Details matter. The service was friendly but focused in getting the work done. The office is on the second floor. Suite 210. read more

I originally called a different visa service company in Atlanta when I tried to apply for my visa to China but the personnel there was so unprofessional, I didn't trust them to handle my passport. Luckily I searched online and found China Visa Atlanta Office at Chamblee. The service was efficient and David was detailed oriented. He even called to verify the last names vs. first names on our application forms due to the unique way a Malaysian passport list the orders of our names. When the passport came back less than a week, they texted us as well as left us a voice mail to come pick up. The fact that they are opened on Saturdays was super convenient for me. No need to skip work to get my visa! Also worth noting is that while at the office during my initial appointment, I also saw the personnel there helping clients with different visa issues and their attitude were very helpful. One girl was not sure if her itinerary needs a transit visa and David gave her advice accordingly. I can tell he cared about the people whether they ended up applying for a Chinese visa or not. Since they already have more than 700 5 stars reviews on Google, I think more people who use Yelp should know about their wonderful service. read more

Incredibly easy, clear and straightforward. I had a few specific complications that they did not even blink at and helped solve. The team working there is super friendly and helpful. They got me back my passport in a week despite not asking for rush service. This service is incredible reliable and would definitely recommend as it was also VERY affordable! read more

When it comes to securing your official travel documents (VISAs, etc.) to visit mainland China, the crew at Atlanta China Visa has it down to a science. They are knowledgable, efficient and timely and go out of there way to explain the rules, processes, and governmental requirements for US citizens to visit the country. They also have the technicians and office staff knowledgable in almost all scenarios for applicants. They seem to be good at"finding-a-way" to make the application experience both timely and painless while handling most requisite application documentation on-site (e.g., visa application photos, official document processing paperwork required for securing either tourist VISAs or work VISAs for ex-pats.) read more

This place might have a shady website and exterior, but they get the job done quickly and efficiently. I called before coming, and they made it pretty clear it wouldn't be an issue if I dropped off my visa packet within a few minutes of closing, which was nice. I arrived and was serviced immediately. The woman was helpful, checked my packet, and talked me through the next steps, and even changed my application to allow me to re-enter the country for 10 years as opposed to a single entry at no additional cost (she explained recent rule changes made this possible). This was nice and I wouldn't necessarily have expected them to do this without any prompting. Within less than a week I got a text telling me my visa was ready for pickup. They will even allow my wife to pick it up since she works in the area. My only complaint is that a couple things on the website/application could be a little clearer (maybe an instruction sheet, which I found on another site). The hours could also be a bit more user friendly. But overall I really had no issues with this company, and they were extremely helpful at every point of interaction. read more

Very quick service. Fiona responded to my million questions via emails and was amazing and efficient when we finally went to drop off the applications. Note, they are so good they pretty much handle everything for you in terms of filling out the applications, so don't stress. Just make sure you have the tickets, hotel etc ready. They also take the photos for you there for $5. Had I known ahead of time I wouldn't have done the application multiple times trying to get it perfect, they do that for you!! Super friendly and it's great they are opened on saturdays - convenient for pick up. read more

This was absolutely a breeze! I thought I was going to have to fly out of town for this visa... google told me I could stAy here! Thank God!!! They get the job done. Emily explained everything to me, down to the very last detail. I was so scared I wouldn't be approved becauSe my trip was so soon but she got it done!! I came with my forms filled out, she took my photo and i was done. Fast service. Just as advertised. I appreciate all 3 of them! The gentleman was very friendly and welcoming! They were all pleasant. Thank you!! Go see them and tell them I sent you!! Lol read more

One of the easiest visa processes I've ever gone through. Super quick, convenient and reasonably priced

The most important thing about this location is how fast and professional they are. You will not find a better service in Georgia, but that is not what makes them truly special. The people here genuinely care about the visitors and often help with missing documents or papers that need to be printed, the man in charge is one of the most friendly and knowledgeable professionals I have ever met. This is even more special considering the fact that he deals with rushed and temperamental people on a daily basis as a part of the job, yet has the patience and professionalism to continue operating at an amazing level. I came to them on Tuesday the 28th with my work permit in hand, needing to have the visa before my flight on the 6th of the following month. With labor day happening the following Monday, my hope of a speedy process was dwindling but the lady helping me reassured me that the visa would be ready to pick up by Wednesday the 5th regardless of the labor day weekend and sure enough, it was there ready for me to pick up just like she said. Cannot thank these guys enough read more

These folks are incredible. I travel internationally quite a bit, and have had to get many expedited visas. Most often, you submit paperwork with no room for error. if there is a problem with any of it, they simply deny the visa. Not only did I arrive close to their closing time, but I was also very close to the cutoff date to submit the visa to be able to travel in time with no issues. There were two ladies working. One had an American accent and the other Chinese. They were both very nice, but I specifically spoke to the consular officer that was from China. She took this late submission and went through the entire visa application, made a few corrections and helped with certain verbiage. She was INCREDIBLE. At the end, after submitting, I asked if they were private or governmental, she told me that she was a service provider and not an official consulate. I tried to give her a little something to say thank you, so that she might get a cup of coffee on me tomorrow morning or something as my gratitude, but she just said "shishi (thank you)" and graciously declined my gift. I Did not think I would ever be writing a review for a consular office, but I could not leave the parking lot without jotting a few comments in the hopes that others see this and use their services, and this wonderfully hardworking and diligent worker receives the lauding that she deserves from her higherups . In the days of stressed us relations with China, I couldn't have received a warmer and more competent reception. THANK YOU and very well done! read more

I needed a visa fast, they were easy to work with and texted me when it was ready. Nothing more to say!

Great service! Got my passport back in a week with no issues. They helped us get 10 year visas. I highly recommend them!

Friendly, prompt service. We were texted when our VISAs were ready and we chose to pick them up verses their mailing service. Very pleased. read more

A friend of mine recommend this visa office to me. I've gotten multiple Chinese visas through them recently. The stuff there was very friendly and I was impressed with the efficiency and accuracy of the service. Chinese visa has very strict photo requirements and I was worried where to get the photo taken. Then I found out that this office takes the photo for you and it made the whole process so much easy. I received our visas within a little more than 1 week. I'll definitely go back in the future. read more

I was told that it may be difficult to get a 10 year multiple entry visa. I went in on Saturday and was given no guarantee but David said he will speak to the Chinese Embassy in Houston and see what he can do. Both women there are extremely helpful and they charge $ 5.00 for photographs. Helped me fill up my forms. Got my 10 year multiple entry visa today. Extremely happy. read more

This place was awesome. It's a little ways up Buford highway but the process is very easy. The building is a nondescript old looking building in the middle of a weird parking lot and the building itself is a little bit run down inside but other than that this has been a great process and there is no need to worry about whether the job will get done. I'm assuming that most folks who read this will be looking for a normal tourist visa from the United States so I'll share my experience. Basically what you do is you show up with all of the documents that are listed on the website which is not super hard to pull together I think it's basically like your passport and drivers license. You pay the consulate fee and you pay a small fee for the service and basically what they do is they take your passport fill out an application for you with their attendance unless you have filled it out ahead of time and then they manually transport it to the consulate which I think is in Texas. Within a week or so it will be back and hopefully approved. That being said probably a good idea to schedule things about two months in advance as recommended by the Chinese consulate website. I know that for most folks it is very weird to give your passport to someone but I will say that in this case it's what is required because the consulate has to see your actual passport. Basically just have a little bit of trust that it will work out even though in most situations you would not give up your passport. If you don't have a picture they will take a digital picture of you in the office. The whole process is a little bit informal especially when you compare it to what is the common process that most Americans experience re-entering the United States with their own passport. Don't compare it to a high-pressure situation with border agents or consular officers. Even though the folks in the office are laid-back they help you circumvent waiting in line and having to do an appointment in Texas to get your visa. Overall I was very pleased with the service and found the folks at the office to be very nice and to also be encouraging of my first trip to China. By the way I believe the hours listed for the yelp listing here are incorrect so make sure that you go to the website or call the office ahead of time to check the hours as they may change. read more

this place is great. they are very friendly, fast and efficient. they got the job done quicker then expected. overall would highly recommend them. read more
