India

Organised at the Indian Embassy in Beijing.

Took 7 working days although they said it would be ready in 5.
They fax off your application to your country of residence (in our case UK) and they then fax it to your country (France and South Africa). This all takes time. You will get a six month multiple entry visa valid from the date of issue.
Maria (France) had to pay but mine (South African) was free.
