Do you mean a China visa? It usually takes 4 working days after all documents are submitted. The rush service takes 2-3 working days.

No, so china requires my son to obtain a travel permit not a visa for entry and exit from the country.

Hi, Mathew, a travel permit generally requires the same time with a visa, 4 working days.
