China said it was expanding its visa-free transit policy, allowing eligible foreign travelers to stay in parts of the country as long as 10 days as officials try to attract more overseas visitors.
This was many years ago and it was technically a tourist visa. I wouldn’t be surprised if they made things a lot more efficient. We had to mail in a lot of documents which is the part that took a while.
what kind of visa was it? i was able to get an L visa for 3-month stays and 10 year validity in about a week
though tbf i’m in the US and used swift and it was kinda expensive, but the consulate website is showing really fast processing times too
