Teach me about obtaining a visa for China.

[Zeze]

My mom is planning on visiting China for leisure. She is a US citizen and lives in MA.

From what I've heard, you almost always go through a vendor of sort as they can just take care of everything.

1. What are the reputable vendors in MA?
2. How much is the VISA itself and what is the vendor fee?
3. What are the general requirements?

Already an active thread about this with lots of good information. Here.

just go to Hong Kong, probably safer, a better experience and no visa needed.
