OT: Best Visa service

for China.

Anybody with experience? Are they necessary? Are they worth it? Any less expensive than others?

Many years ago, I used Rush Passport located in NYC.

If you are not familiar with the documentation and paperwork requirements, I strongly suggest using a Visa service. I chose this one because other family members had used them for business and personal travel, and they were diligent in getting the work done and communicating the process.

I use International Express because they are local to me and always have gotten me my Visas (2 for China, 2 for Brazil) and passport expedites (3X) without any issues.

The form for China Visa's is not that difficult, I just like knowing someone else is making sure I do everything correctly.

I travel to China frequently. You absolutely need it. Otherwise, you would have to go to a Chinese consulate and stand in line to get it. Will check my records and find the service I used several years ago.

I will be in Wuhan in several weeks. Where are you visiting?

Many sites that are common in the US are blocked in China. (Google, Youtube, Dropbox) You probably want to explore getting a VPN.
