Mr.Kok Tek Choy(Singapore) said:

I am a Singaporean and if I need to stay in Chian for business for one month, how long would a visa takes and what documents do I need to present for the application. If I am there on business for only 15 days, is it correct that I will not need to apply for a visa? Thank You.

Mr.chen(Singapore) said:

I hold a Singapore passport (but living in the US) and want to visit China next month (April 2010) for 7days. Do I need a China Visa? I've been to China last Dec without visa but someone told me because of the Shanghai Expo 2010 there might a change to the visa-free policy? Is that true?

Ms.SIEW(SINGAPORE) said:

Hi,

My brother, a Canadian citizen, will be visiting Singapore for 2 weeks in May 2010. He will be going on to Hong Kong after leaving Singapore and from Hong Kong he will make 3 separate trips to China (to Jiangmen, Shenzhen and Beijing). Can he apply for a multi-entry visa to China from the China Embassy in Singapore?

Does he also need a visa to visit Hong Kong - he will be there from 12 May to 31 May during which time he will make the 3 trips to China.

Mr.Oh(Malaysia) said:

Hi there, I am an Malaysian employment pass holder. If I'm going to pay a visit to GuangZhou for few days in the next following weeks; depart from Singapore, am I able to apply the Visa through Singapore China Embassy? Or I have to apply it from Malaysia?

If I can apply it from Singapore china embassy, what documents should I prepare?

Thanks!

Mrs.Betty(Singapore) replied:

You have to apply for Chinese tourist visa from Malaysia because you hold Malaysian employment pass rather than Singapore employment pass. Chinese embassy in Singapore refuses to issue China visa to temporary visitors in Singapore.

If you apply for China visa in Kl, please go to the Chinese visa service center in Kl rather than Chinese embassy in KL which has stopped to issue China visa to ordinary passport holders.

Mr.Oh(Malaysia) replied:

Hi Betty,

Thanks for the info. I got all documents ready, but I haven't confirm the date of going, therefore I haven't book my flight and hotel yet. In such a case, can I apply for the visa before I'm getting the air tickets?

Mar. 18,2010 01:13
Mrs.Betty(Singapore) replied:

Mr.Oh, you can have a try to apply for China visa without the round-trip flight ticket or hotel reservation, sometimes, the visa officer won't ask for them, however, they are required by visa officer. It varies from person to person. Good Luck!

Ms.Chan(Singapore) said:

Hi, I am holding Singapore passport & intend to visit China fm 18April to 2May which is total 15days but I was told by a travel agent that I can only stay for 14days instead as this is safer for me. I am confused now on whether I can depart China on the 15th day or should I depart on the 14th day. Please advice. Thank you.

Mrs.Betty(Singapore) replied:

Ms.Chan, Singapore ordinary passport holders are exempt from a visa to Mainland China for up to 15 days, so you can depart China on 2nd May.
