Like all things in china depends on how much you want to pay :-P

Look online for the chinese embassy, you can print the pdfs. You will need two passport photos.

You can go for the 24/48 hour option or the
4 day options, all are different prices. Also
the embassy is only open from around 9:30 to 12:30. So you need to get there early. Also
you usually have to queue.

thanks andrew, I was pondering just PMing you instead of making this thread, but here u are:D

So do you know about the actual fees or does it just depend>?

Cant remember besides I went about 2/3 years ago so the
price would have changed. Search for the chinese embassy
online. It should have the prices there.

I am not in the UK, but I would suspect that the process would be similar here as it is over there. Usually a visa takes no more than a week to be processed, a fast service is available but it costs a lot more.

If I remember correctly it wasn't too expensive either.

And the new visas look really cool :)

£30, Gotta send the paper form off cos there isnt an embassy in london (only ones in manchester and edinburgh) :(
