Degree Authentication
I received my bachelors in the US and got it authenticated when working in China. I moved to Spain and my company requests for my diploma to be authenticated. Do you know if getting it authenticated in China means that I won't have to do it again?

You can make an appointment on the website of the Chinese Visa Application Service Center in Madrid. As far as I know, it's not necessary to be present. You can also apply by posting documents to the visa center.
