Where should I submit my China tourist visa application and is an appointment required?

Hi everyone,

I’m getting ready to apply for a China tourist visa and I’m a bit confused about the submission process. Should the China tourist visa application be submitted directly at the embassy or through a visa application center? Also, is it mandatory to book an appointment in advance, or are walk-in submissions allowed?

I want to make sure I follow the correct procedure and avoid any unnecessary delays. If you’ve recently applied for a China tourist visa, could you please share how you booked your appointment and how long the overall process took from submission to receiving your passport back?

Any guidance or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
