Is it hard for a US citizen to get the Chinese Visa?

Question

I am planning to travel to China on December for tourism and personal reasons (to visit someone). However I need to apply for the visa, as I know.
I am a Mexican woman who's already US citizen (by naturalization).
How hard do u think it'd be?

Answer 1

It is very easy! If you live near a consulate just bring your passport (*mexican will be cheaper*) and fill out a Q1 visa application form and provide a visa size photo (2x2)

Otherwise if you do not live near a consulate and/or you are really nervous about this, use a visa service like

Answer 3

My uncle is a US citizen, and he travels back and forth two or three times a year. I don't think he's ever had trouble getting a tourist visa. Just make sure you can get to a Chinese consulate. I believe that you will have to drop off your passport there, as well apply for it in person.

Answer 4

Should be no problem to get a visa. As long as you dont intend to work there - then thats another matter.

Answer 5

no
