    River in Reno

    We are going to Egypt in January. One of our obligations is to obtain a visa. Should be no big deal, right? Wrong. Try to figure out the Egyptian web site for visas. It takes a lot of trial and error. Mostly error. I was never able to get it to take a submit although I did end up figuring out how to put the information all in. And it took me about four hours of wasted time to get as far as I did. I finally gave up in frustration and contacted Swift Passport and Visa Services. A little expensive? Maybe. But I have a lot more to do with my time than get frustrated all afternoon on a Saturday. So, I went with it. They hand-held me at every question I had and assured me that it would all work out. It did! I was very happy!!! Paul was magnificent! And, we have our visas in hand a month before we have to go. Highly recommend Swift! You won't be sorry! Take one big worry off your plate. Thank you, Swift and Paul!!!

    At the moment, going through the process of trying to obtain a Chinese tourist visa. However,…read morealthough there seems to be good reviews regarding Shawn, my experience with him thus far as been very difficult. So far, when I correspond with him by email, he comes across as arrogant, abrupt and rude. He has had my visa application since late December 2025 and up until the week of February 22 through 28, 2026, I did not hear from him regarding next steps in obtaining the Chinese tourist visa. When I finally heard from Shawn, he still did not provide clear procedures to complete the Chinese tourist visa. I've come to learn that an individual can easily procure a Chinese tourist visa directly with the Chinese consulate. However, at this point, since my application has been submitted with Shawn, not sure if I can still take this route since the trip to China will be in April 2026.

Whether that be providing thoughtful guidance around the application process to taking the time to review my documents with a fine comb, his team supports you through each step of the way and is readily available.

Give Shawn & China Visa Solutions team a shout if you're looking for a positive, and smooth experience! cheers -

We have been waiting for 4 weeks and we still haven't received them. THERES NO WAY THEY CAN GET OUR PASSPORT BACK THE SAME DAY THATS NOT TRUE. I called the office and talked to AK on so many occasions and he was no help but he did tell me that 6 weeks was the fastest service they had when you expedite it you will get it in 1 to 2 days after it has been processed and approved by the government which takes 6 weeks. So we missed our trip. It says same day passports you will not get it in the same day next week are the week after. You can apply for a passport at the post office and save $139.

    I had recently applied for a Tourism (L) Visa at the Chinese Consulate in Chicago (FYI- they do not…read moreaccept appointments for applying for a visa). I'm visiting from out of state so it did mean I was taking a mini vacation ...twice, unless I decided to stay for 5 weekdays as it takes 4 business days to process and then you can pick up on the 4th day. I applied on a Friday and it was ready by the following Wednesday according to the pickup receipt. The day of pickup, I got there by 9:05 and I was like 3rd in line to wait for the office to open but once it's almost 9:30 you won't see the line in the lobby because the people will be making their way upstairs to go through security. You stay in the same order as when you line up downstairs after you sign in with security. Once upstairs, the line splits off depending on what you are doing. There's a separate line for pickup and a separate line for applying for the visa- so just because you see 10 people ahead of you, maybe 3 of them is for pickup. So, before you go to the embassy, you need to apply via the online form and you need to include a headshot of yourself on a white background, not off-white because the application will not let you move forward. I typed just my personal info in CAPS but did everything else in normal writing with some capitalizations. Though it says that filling in your "position" at your job and "job duties" as optional--You actually need to fill it because they will make you fill it on the spot if you don't. The "where you stay form" is not optional, though it says that...I had to fill it at the embassy so just print and have it ready to give to the officer. I had all my photocopies in color but I'm not sure if that matters but to be safe, I wanted the copies to look exactly as they are. I put that I wanted multiple entries for 9 years and something, and I got multi for 10 years and I am a US citizen who had a 6 months Chinese visa 15 years ago when I was studying abroad in HK. If you have all your documents, it should be very fast at the window. The day I applied I got to the building around 10:30AM, silly me brought a coffee up thinking I can drink it while I wait inside...SIKE. You can't bring any drinks or food inside the office. So, I was outside chugging my coffee! This meant, like 7-8 people passed me while I was drinking my coffee in a span of like 7 mins and I finally went through security at around 10:35AM? I was #19 but they were on #5. I was called around 11:30AM and it took less than 10mins for the officer to review my docs and approve it. They give you a pink receipt to bring back to pickup your visa! You can pay with credit card on day of pickup and it's $140--NO CASH ACCEPTED Here's what I brought with me: - my actual valid passport with at least 6 months - printed copy of my passport -my actual copy of old passport (this is required because I had a visa before) -printed copy of my OLD passport (this is required because I had a visa before) -printed copy of OLD CHINESE VISA (this is required because I had a visa before) - copy of your state ID - printed copy of your completed Visa application with the QR Code -copy of marriage certificate (because of name change) -Where you Stay Form They had 2 officers that were just for the visa application line.
