Hello,

Does anybody know how much a tourist visa (short term) costs? I didn't see any information on the website of the Chinese embassy in Bangkok. Thanks.

Also how long does it take?

If you go yourself they are around 2000 baht we normally pass these onto a travel agent we use.

Thanks for the help!

You can do it by yourself - very easy. The embassy is near a MRT station.

After 2 days you can pick up your passport.

I got a business visa in BKK a couple of months ago.

I used a visa agent on Suk 11/1; can't remember the exact price but I think it was 3K for the 4 day service and 4K for the same day service. I was in a hurry and dropped my passport off at 9am and it was back by 5. I was happy.

Incidentally you can get a same day service, I think the last same day service visa for China I got cost around 2,200 baht, I was surprized at how cheap, easy and efficient it was. I'm in Chiang Mai and I used the local Chinese Consulate walk in service.

Last time I applied in the late morning, had lunch in the area, and picked up my passport with visa right after lunch.

Especially, there is no need to involve any agent.

Its very easy to do yourself in Bangkok just attend the embassy.

Thanks again for all the help!

Great info. I was thinking about visiting China soon.

Can someone please add some information on the duration of the visas? Such as you paid how much for a visa that was good for how long?
