Visiting and hours

The US Consulate General in Shanghai serves US citizens in the eastern China consular district, which covers Shanghai municipality, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces. Appointments for American Citizen Services must be booked online through the Consulate website.

The Huaihai Road location is accessible by metro. Security procedures are similar to the Beijing Embassy; confirm prohibited items before attending. The emergency line operates outside business hours for genuine urgent situations involving US nationals. For visa enquiries, note that immigrant and non-immigrant visa processing has separate appointment systems from citizen services.

Addresses, phone numbers, and appointment procedures change. Always confirm current details on the official embassy or consulate website before attending. In genuine emergencies, use the out-of-hours duty line rather than daytime contact numbers.
