I currently have my parents visiting (UK passport, standard 30 day tourist visa) before travelling on to China, and they were hoping to get their PRC visa here. They did this last year no problems - an agent turned up on a motorbike, collected passports and documents, and brought these back 4 days later with the right visa. However it seems things have changed. I've spoken to a couple of agents who aren't able to do China visas anymore.

It wouldn'e be a big deal but one of them has a bad leg, and neither of them know their way around Bangkok very well or speak any Thai. My wife has a young baby and i'm working. So sending them off on their own seems a bit fraught, to say the least!

Wondered if anyone has any recent experience of using an agent, or if it's a total none starter now? Anyone recommend a good agent I could speak to?

Thanks in advance

I used Vega travel on Sukh Soi 11/1: http://www.vegatravelbangkok.com/china-visa-95.html

I wanted a business visa and dropped my passport off at 9 am and picked it back up at 4.30 the same day. Great service, but I've no idea if they offer a pickup / drop-off. Their head office is very close to the Nana BTS station though.

I've tried them already. Very helpful but weren't able to do it for a tourist visa.

Looking like I'll have to go down there with them tomorrow morning!

Thanks londoedan.
