Chinese Visa Fees

The fee varies enormously according to your nationality, the number of entries required, the country you are applying in, and whether you want an express service. It is normally paid on collection, but in some localities it must be paid when you apply.

A few nationalities are not charged a fee, such as Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Herzegovina, Maldives, Micronesia, Pakistan and Slovakia. However, in the United Kingdom, applicants need pay more monery because ordinary passport holders should apply for a Chinese visa at Chinese Visa Application Service Center (CVASC) rather than at Chinese Embassy in London, UK. The CVASC charge some fees for its service provied to applicants. USA travellers have one fixed fee regardless of the other factors.

The fee range is currently from about free for a very few nationalities or 200 to 900 RMB for most applicants, excluding the express service fee if you choose that.
