I am a Malaysian working in Singapore. I am planning to visit my friend in China. It is my understanding that I need to provide the air ticket and hotel reservations for visa application. However, I will be staing at my friend's place. In this case I won't be able to provide hotel reservation. Please advise if I need a letter of my friend explaining I will be staying at his place or just simply his address.

If you will stay at your friend's house, you can ask your friend to write an invitation letter enclosed with his/her valid address and contacts for you. He/she can also write that you will stay in his/her house in the letter.

Hi,
My friend & I are planing to go Beijing by free & easy in June 2009. We are Malaysian & working in Singapore by holding an employment pass.
Understand that both of us are eligible apply visa in China Embassy at Singapore but we have 2 questions as below,
1) Do we must submit our E-ticket & Hotel booking?
2) Does the original passport need to leave in Embassy for Tourist Visa processing for 4 workings day?
3) Is the Visa Fee charge SGD 100/ person for Visa which required 1 working day (apply in morning & collect in afternoon the same day)? Reason: We need to go back Malaysia daily as we have no place to stay in Singapore.
We really need someone to help.
Thank you.

I'm a citizen of Kazakhstan, and i wanna get a chinese visa in a day in Singapore. I'm going to Kazakhstan trought China by car. As i don't have an airplane ticket is it possible to get the visa? What should i have for visa application?
Jul. 1,2009 02:37
Mr.Andrew replied:
I'm afraid you are not able to get the visa in one day, you can get the visa the next day after you submit your application even if you use the rush service.
Meanwhile, you won't be issued the visa if you don't have air or train tickets.
I think you just go to China for a visit, then you need a L tourist visa, so you should provide the following documents for your application at least:
1. Your passport with blank pages and at least 6 months validity left before expiration.
2.A truly and completely filled application form affixed with one passport-sized photo.
3. Round-trip air ticket
4. Hotel reservation.

50 SGD for single-entry visa. You can't apply for the visa without leaving your passport in the embassy. Two-way air tickets and hotel booking proof are required for the application.
