Question:
How far in advance do you have to
apply for a visa to visit mainland
China? What is the best way to do
it?
Answer:
In South Korea, it takes 4~6days
to get a visa for traveling China.
But if you don't mind the cost,
you can get it earlier by paying
an express charge. If you visit
your local embassy, 2 or 3 days.
Depends where
you are. FAQ on Chinese visa, http://www.modernchinaguide.com/chinavisa.html
You can get some information at

for China Visas.
Typically,
the time needed for a Visa depends
on where you are and how you apply
for it. 4 business days in the US.
Best way is to go to the consulate.
A few days at the Chinese consulate
here in Munich. They even have a
same day or next day service.
