With the 2-day Fed Ex return mail option, it took 10 days total to get 2 passports back. Extremely fast and reliable service for a very competitive price! I highly recommend using Free China Visa. read more

questiones always answered in the same day. very professional. fees reasonable ( much cheaper many many years ago) read more

Outstanding Service - The Best China Visa Service in California! I have never experienced anything like this before. It was an absolute pleasure working with Meng and Lily! I live in Danville and delivered my passport to Lily in San Ramon. To my amazement, I received my passport and China visa in just five days flat! Meng is a wonderful lady--patient, helpful, and incredibly professional. She answered every single text message I sent, patiently addressed all my questions, guided me through the entire process, and even helped with the photograph requirements. She is so calm and composed. The communication was outstanding, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. You simply cannot ask for better customer service. Free China Visa is probably the best China visa service in California! I highly recommend Meng to anyone who needs a China visa. They made what could have been a stressful process an absolute pleasure. Thank you, Meng and Lily, for the exceptional service! read more

Thank you Free China Visa for being so helpful through the application process! When I had a question, and I had a few, they always responded quickly. It was so helpful to know that they were there for every step of the process. Highly recommend their services read more

Very good customer service and very fast as well! I got my chinese visa in about 2-3 weeks after I filled things out.

Very quick. Kept me updated with the status. Local pickup and drop off was very convenient and they were super easy to coordinate with

Seamless experience. Way better, simpler, and easier than what I expected (or unnecessarily worried about!).

Hesitant at first as the visa process is in itself foreign to me. But Free China Visa responded promptly to my emails and questions. Tracking via their website aligned perfectly with the consulate's site. Everything worked out easily and without a hitch. read more

The entire process was fast, easy, and exceptionally helpful. The instructions were clear and simple to follow, and the communication throughout was great. I will definitely use them again for other family members and highly recommend their services! read more

This is the least expensive option I've found for mail-in Chinese visa service for the SF consulate. Local travel agencies in my area quoted at least double the price. You still have to fill out the online application forms, but you can mail your passport to the agency and they'll take it to the consulate, retrieve, and then courier the passport with the visa back to you. Think they can also provide email help with filling out the visa forms, but I didn't need to. Took about 2 weeks from me mailing my passport and application info, to getting my passport back with the visa. Pretty easy to follow their instructions and check progress, and everything went smoothly. read more

This is my 11th year of regularly using "Free China Visa" for my F-Visa application. Reasons are simple. 1) It has great Web/User interface. I know exactly the status of my application. This matters, when your flight departure date is closing in, while Visa is still in limbo. 2) Individual detail/attentions. Meng, and staff would notify me, if I miss something, or things in my application annoying Consulate requirements. 3) Meng, and staff go extra step to help me, even when I did not get my desired 90-Day F-Visa. It all adds up. Then, its service fee is the best I can find. I depend on its service in the years ahead! read more

Instead of taking two days off from work (to drop off and pick up my passport at SF Consulate), I used FreeChinaVisa and I would use them again if I had to (10 year visa so I won't renew for a while!). Since I am local, I opted to drop off and pick up my passport in Fremont instead of mailing it to them. After dropping off my passport to FreeChinaVisa on July 8, they dropped off my passport at the SF Consulate the next day. The Consulate's website notified me that my passport was ready to be picked up on July 14, and FreeChinaVisa picked it up the same morning. I was able to pick it up from FreeChinaVisa later that afternoon. It was a smooth process throughout! read more

I had a great experience using Free China Visa and would definitely recommend them if you're trying to avoid an in person trip to the SF Consulate. I live in Nevada, and due to jurisdiction, my visa application had to be processed through the San Francisco Consulate. Instead of traveling there and dealing with long wait times, I decided to use Free China Visa based on a recommendation from my cousin. I had also checked with a local travel agency in Las Vegas, and they quoted me $390, while Free China Visa charged $300, which was a much better deal. Just a heads up: you still need to complete the China Online Visa Application (COVA) yourself and mail in your passport. Once your application is approved by the consulate, you notify Free China Visa, and they handle the in person drop off and pickup for you. I submitted my order on 2/24/26 and received my passport back by 3/13/26. The process took a little over two weeks, mainly because I had to make some updates to my application and provide additional documents. Overall, the steps were straightforward and easy to follow. If I ever need to renew my China visa again, I would absolutely use their service. read more

Excellent service. Passports were submitted to the consulate the day after they were received at Free China Visa, and mailed back to us the day the consulate finished with them. 10 days from when we mailed them to when we received them back with a visa. read more

Very satisfied with the service. The process and system were smooth and efficient. The agent was very responsive. The fees were reasonable and the best I have found in the area. read more

Great communication and very flexible hours to drop off and pick documents. Highly recommend!

Fast professional reasonable pricing and hassle free. Very responsive in communication too.

Very responsive and fast. They helped me with the process too. I highly recommend their service.

Great service and timely response. Would use them again for sure. Website was straight forward and instructions were easy to follow. It was a little nerve wracking sending my passport but it all worked out fine. Now off to see my child in China! read more

Great communication for our China visas. helped us review our application, easy to mail passports with clear instructions on the website, great tracking tool, processed and given to consulate on the day of delivery and mailed out as soon as passports were ready. pricing is the best for these services , would highly recommend using them and will use them again for future services. read more

My tourist visa is pretty straight forward, but I dread waiting in line at the consulate if I choose to do it on my own. I have heard at a minimum I have to go twice (once to drop off the passport, once to pickup after visa is approved). Free China Visa saves me time and the process has been seamless. Will I use their service again? Absolutely. read more

Amazing experience! I sent off my passport on November 19th and it was received on the 21st. FreeChinaVisa submitted my application to the Chinese consulate on the 24th, and my visa was issued on November 26th. I received my passport back in the mail today, December 3rd. The whole process was straightforward and easy. I'm so glad I didn't have to drive all the way to San Francisco twice. FreeChinaVisa handled everything quickly and smoothly. Highly recommend! read more

I've been using this agency for years. Their customer service is precise and efficient. For instance, when I emailed questions in the evening, I received a reply the next morning. When I missed FedEx deliveries three times while on vacation, an agent called me off hours to advise me on how to avoid a costly and time-consuming return. Their excellent customer service is truly impressive. read more

Meng answered all our questions and provided quick service. We got our Visa's in less than a week! We had no issues going to and coming back from China. I'd highly recommend this place! read more

I know the name sounds skeptical but TRUST ME when I say they were the absolute best and as legit as it gets!! They were incredibly responsive to emails (even over the weekends) when I had questions and even caught an error on my form before going to the consulate. That saved me a huge headache of most likely having to reapply if they hadn't reviewed that ahead of time. Visa was approved and passport was sent back much faster than expected. Can't thank freechinavisa enough! 感谢您的服务，我迫不及待地想访问中国！ read more

Excellent service. Free China Visa did not miss a bit. I live in Oregon and they proved to be reliable and very responsive, exceeding my expectations. Congratulations to the management. read more

Service fee is very reasonable and lowest I can find. Tracking info available in their website is helpful. Regular service is also quick enough for me. read more

Great service! We are in Washington State, and they sent our passports to the consulate the same day they received them. They also mailed them back to us the exact day the consulate changed our visa status. We are very satisfied! read more

Meng was very helpful. She was available on Saturday. I would recommend for friends and family.

a great service received! very convenient and safe (as opposed to park the car near the consulate to wait for line and worry about the safety for the parked car. Some years ago, my car had window smashed on the passenger side and GPS got robbed during applying for the visa to China in person, cost was quite a bit after that.) read more

The process was pretty great, the only issue was that I wish they were a bit more proactive with communication. I wasn't sure if I did get a refund from the consulate for my specific visa application after it got processed by the consulate. It wasn't until I asked them about it that I was notified about it. However, very quick turnaround! read more

Free China Visa made it really easy to get our visa's for China. We filled out the form online and dropped the passports off, and within a week a so, we had our passports and Visas back. Would definately recommend to avoid having to go in person to the Chinese Consulate. read more

Super fast and convenient, and you don't need to go to the consulate! I submitted my application in person at their Fremont location because I didn't want to mail anything. When I dropped it off, Meng reviewed my application right away. Luckily, I wasn't missing anything. I think I only waited a week to receive my visa, and I was able to get a 10 year visa! Highly recommend! read more

Everything went smoothly. I got my passport back as expected and was able to track the status on the website.

I was skeptical at first since the website didn't look as nice as some other options out there. But when I saw the other websites try to overcharge for free options such as visa length, I decided to go with Free China Visa. They did not overcharge at all, did not try to upsell any services, and were very professional and speedy. They got me my visa in a week, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. read more

They provided prompt responses to my inquiries and their overall process is very efficient. Great service! Highly recommended.

Excellent service and very reasonable fees. Highly recommended. I got my Q2 visa less than two weeks via Free China Visa

Great service. Quick to respond to my questions, efficient delivery and pick up of passports to consulate, careful/secure packing of passports for return. Everything was tracked in their system so we knew where things were in the process. Smoother, easier, and quicker process than we expected! I appreciated the discount for multiple passports. Well worth the money. read more

Very quick turn around. Mailed in my application and passport. Once received, they sent me an invoice. Exactly two weeks later I got my passport back via signature required through Fedex with an approved 10 year visa. They are efficient, and get the job done. The price I was worth it for me. Because I didn't have to fly to SF myself. Highly recommend this company if you need to get a visa for China. read more

Followed instructions to the T's as outline in their website. Fast email response to my questions; it helped gather the necessary docs and what to answer in the on line form. Remember to answer only to the questions that are required (*). Got pending approval within a week after submitting on line; immediately mailed the docs to them. They were quick, received the Visa / Passport back a week after. Service Fee is way cheaper compared to what the local agency is charging. Plus you get the white glove service. Highly recommend ! read more
