Singapore is a very beautiful country located at the exit of the Strait of Malacca in Southeast Asia. This is a natural and excellent port. Business here is very developed and people's quality of life is very high. It is the only developed country in the region. Below is a detailed Singapore visa guide.

Singapore’s tourist visa now has an electronic signature. In order to improve the transparency of Singapore visa fees, starting from February 1, 2008, the Singapore visa fee will be fixed at RMB 300. The flat fee will include a S$30 visa fee paid by the visa applicant to the Singapore government and a visa service fee charged by the authorized travel agency.

Personal visas to Singapore can be processed through authorized travel agencies designated in each region. The Singapore Embassy in Beijing and the Consulates General in Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Xiamen will stop accepting visa applications starting from December 8, 2014.

In other words, Singapore visas are no longer issued to individuals, and travel agencies need to be authorized to issue visas on their behalf.

As citizens of Category I countries, the materials you need to prepare are:

1. Passport*1

2. Form 14A visa application form (original )*1

3. Color photo*2

4. Chinese ID card: original and copy. (Note: For business visa applicants, only one copy is required)

5. Visa fee: The visa fee is NT$30 per person. Visa fees are non-refundable. The unit/travel agency designated by the Embassy will charge visa fees and additional service fees. From February 1, 2008, the Singapore visa fee will be fixed at RMB 300. The flat fee will include a S$30 visa fee paid by the visa applicant to the Singapore government and a visa service fee charged by the authorized travel agency. Before applying for a visa, please check the fee details with the unit/travel agency designated by the Embassy.

6. In addition, other materials required to apply for a tourist visa are as follows:

A. Proof of employment:

If the applicant is unemployed, he must provide proof of personal finances Documents of status, such as bank deposit certificate (original and copy). There is no specific requirement for the amount of the bank deposit certificate, but the date of issuance by the bank must be within one month from the date of submission of the visa application. This certificate should truly reflect your financial ability.

B. Household Registration Book: The applicant’s household registration book (complete, each page: original and copy). If it is a collective household registration, you can provide the original and copy or go to the police station to apply for household registration certificate.

Tips1: Singapore’s tourist visa is valid for 35 days to 5 years (it is said that some friends have applied for a visa valid for 10 years, but there should be very few. The validity period of the visa not only depends on the visa officer’s Mood, to a greater extent, depends on the completeness and excellence of the materials you submit).

Tip 2: The visa fee is a flat RMB 300. For different visa channels and travel agencies, there are certain uncertainties and risks in visa prices that are too high or too low.

Tips3: The problem of proof of work. I have read other people’s visa experience sharing before. In order to obtain a visa smoothly, some partners ask Taobao or friends to issue false work certificates, and then obtain the visa smoothly. I personally don't agree with this. First of all, counterfeiting is not a very good behavior in itself. And once it is verified by the staff of the visa country, it will greatly affect the image of the Chinese in the visa country, and may also indirectly affect the visa approval rate in future generations. Therefore, my personal suggestion is that all materials must be true and complete, and no fraud is allowed. Generally, travel agencies provide templates for employment certificates. It is best to ask a travel agent for one. The certificate must state that the company agrees to the leave, and state in detail the applicant’s working hours, position and salary in the company. The employment certification letter must list the company's address, telephone number, fax number and relevant contact persons, and must be stamped with the official seal. (Some travel agencies require that part of the funds of unemployed applicants be frozen. This should be to prevent applicants from illegally staying in Singapore for a long time. However, there is no such thing as a fund freeze in the official requirements, so this requirement is not reasonable and legal) .

Visa processing process

1. Validity period:

The visa validity period is generally from 3 months to 10 years, and the specific time is determined by the Singapore Consulate. Under normal circumstances, tourists with no exit records will be granted multiple entry visas.

Singapore has opened a 10-year multiple-entry visa to Chinese citizens since June 1, 2015. Tourists who have visited Singapore before and apply for a Singapore visa again may obtain a 10-year multiple-entry visa. (However, few people actually get a 10-year contract)

2. Duration of stay:

No more than 30 days at a time.

Three. Visa fee:

The Singapore Consulate charges RMB 300, and the agency charges a service fee ranging from RMB 100-300.

Four. Signing time:

5. Do you need an interview:

No.

Processing process for intransitive verbs:

The visa office in Singapore does not accept individuals to go to the embassy. Applicants are usually represented by a travel agent or agent. As long as you prepare the materials and submit them to the agent, you can wait for the contract to be signed.

If you have friends or relatives who are Singaporeans or PRs, you can ask them to be a guarantor and apply directly on the official website of the Singapore Immigration Bureau.
