If you’re planning an upcoming trip to China, there have been some changes at the Chicago China Consulate that you should be aware of. In the past, if you submitted a visa application at the China Consulate in Chicago before 11:00 AM, you could get your visa back on the exact same day. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case.
For anyone who travels to China often, this change is a real bummer. You’ll have to pay the same price for a less convenient service. To make matters worse, after taking the time to drive downtown to submit your application, you’ll have to drive back a few days later to pick it up. This means that you’ll have to deal with traffic, expensive parking, and the inconvenience of finding a good time to make your pick-up during business hours.
Fortunately, there is some good news. Swift Passport and Visa Services can still help you get a China visa quickly. Our Expedited China Visa Service is simple and convenient to use, and before you know it, you’ll have your China visa in hand. Here’s how we can help.
Get an Expedited China Visa With Swift
At Swift Passport Services, we understand how frustrating these changes will be for some of our frequent flyers to China. Despite the changes, the best way to get your visa to China quickly and easily is by using a reputable company like Swift. When you submit your visa application through Swift, we can help you avoid any errors in the application process. We can also wait in line for you and send your visa to you once it’s ready. Through our service, you can have your China visa in-hand quickly.
One thing to note is that you should try to avoid waiting until the last minute to apply for your visa. However, if an emergency arises, know that you can contact a member of our knowledgable team, and we’ll do everything we can to help you get your visa as fast as possible.
Avoid a Second Trip to the Chicago China Consulate
Even if you don’t use Swift to expedite your China visa application, you can turn to us for our visa pickup service. The Swift office is in the same building as the China Consulate, and for a small fee, we can pick up your visa for you and mail it wherever you’d like.
When you apply for your visa at the China Consulate, you’ll be given a slip to pick up your visa. Before you leave the building, simply walk over to our office and drop the slip off with us. We’ll then be able to pick your visa up for you when it’s ready and send it to you via FedEx.
This service is a favorite for our clients, because it lets them avoid the hassle of taking hours out of their day to head back to the China Consulate, fight traffic, and figure out parking. If you live outside of downtown Chicago, this service is a no-brainer. It will save you a lot of time and money.
Swift Has You Covered
While you can go directly through the Chicago China Consulate for your visa needs, there are numerous benefits to choosing Swift, including saved time and energy. You could sit in traffic and wait in line for the better part of your day to get your visa. Or you could turn to us, and we will do the waiting for you.
We’ll also help ensure that all of your paperwork is filled out correctly the first time so there are minimal hiccups along the way. Additionally, we can save you time and money by helping you get fingerprint-free visa processing for your China visa (this offer is available to most passport holders).
Whether you’re headed to China or somewhere else in the world, contact Swift to make sure that you’re up to date on the latest visa requirements for your final destination. We’ll be able to help you square away all of your application requirements and enjoy an easier travel experience. No matter where you’re going, we’ll get you there.
