The easiest China tourist visa (L visa) renewal or first-time application by mail service for Western U.S. residents. Mail your passport to us — we assist with COVA system prep, handle the SF consulate drop-off, and return your passport securely via tracked courier.
無需專程飛往舊金山辦理中國簽證。郵寄護照給我們,我們協助COVA系統準備並代您前往領事館遞交,辦好後安全寄回。
If you live in Northern California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, or Wyoming — your Chinese visa must go through the San Francisco Chinese Consulate. And the SF consulate does not accept mail directly from individuals: all applications must be submitted in person or by an authorized agent. That is exactly what we do. You mail us your passport, and we handle the SF consulate drop-off on your behalf — no flight required.
Our China visa mail-in service covers the entire process: we guide you through the mandatory COVA online application at consular.mfa.gov.cn/VISA/, review all your documents before submission, drop off and pick up your passport at the consulate at 1450 Laguna Street, San Francisco, and return it to your door via tracked USPS mail. Standard service takes 9–12 business days total from the day we receive your passport. Express service takes 7–10 business days. Both options include return shipping.
No interview. No fingerprinting. No trip to San Francisco. Chinese visa renewals in the United States require no in-person interview and no fingerprints. You can also renew up to 6 months before your current visa expires — and couples applying together pay a discounted rate ($799 Standard, $849 Express for two applicants). We offer fully bilingual service in English and Mandarin.
A round-trip flight to San Francisco plus hotel and days off work costs far more than our service fee. We handle everything — you simply mail your passport and wait for its safe return.
往返舊金山的機票加上酒店和請假費用,往往遠超我們的服務費。我們全程代辦,您只需郵寄護照,靜候安全歸還即可。
As of June 29, 2024, the Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco officially serves these 8 states and regions. If you reside in any of these states, we can handle your drop-off.
自2024年6月29日起,中國駐舊金山總領事館正式管轄以下8個州。如您居住在其中,我們可為您代辦。
COVA (China Online Visa Application) is the official Chinese government digital visa system, launched September 30, 2025. It replaced the older paper-only process. Every person renewing a Chinese visa in the United States — including through a mail-in agent — must now complete a COVA application at consular.mfa.gov.cn/VISA/ before their documents can be submitted to a consulate.
COVA is straightforward — most applicants complete it in 5–10 minutes online. You fill in your passport details, travel history, and visa type, then print and sign the form. It does not require a lawyer or specialist. However, if you make errors on the COVA form, the consulate can reject your application — causing delays and requiring you to resubmit.
How we help: After you pay, we send you a step-by-step COVA guide in English and Mandarin. For couples and families, we provide separate instructions for each applicant. You complete the COVA application and prepare your documents — then mail everything to us and we handle the SF consulate drop-off on your behalf.
We believe in honest, realistic timelines — not over-promises. Here is an accurate breakdown of every step from the moment you mail your passport to the moment it returns to your door.

From families in Nevada to solo travelers in Seattle — here is what our clients say about trusting Mandy with their passports.
"I was nervous about mailing my passport to a stranger. Mandy called me within an hour of my inquiry, explained the entire process, and sent me tracking updates at every step. My passport came back with a brand-new 10-year visa in 11 days. I can't recommend this service enough."
"我第一次使用郵寄代辦,一開始非常擔心。Mandy 全程用中文解釋每個步驟,讓我完全放心。簽證辦好後第一時間通知我,連護照有沒有損傷都拍照確認。服務非常貼心,絕對會再次使用。"
"We needed visas for a family of three on a tight timeline. Mandy was incredibly organized — she kept all three passports straight, flagged a small issue with one of our COVA forms before it caused a problem, and had everything back to us in 9 business days. Worth every penny."
"Mandy 的服務讓我省去了專程飛往舊金山的麻煩和費用。她回覆非常迅速,微信也可以直接聯繫。整個過程透明放心,護照完好無損地回來了。強烈推薦給所有灣區以外的朋友!"
