How to apply for a Singapore visa?

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

Tourist visas in Singapore are now electronically signed. In order to improve the transparency of visa fees in Singapore, from February 1 day, 2008, the visa fees in Singapore will be fixed at RMB 300 yuan. The fixed fee will include the visa fee of S $30 paid by the visa applicant to the Singapore government and the visa service fee charged by the authorized travel agency.

Individual visas to Singapore can be handled through authorized travel agencies designated by various regions. The Embassy of Singapore in Beijing and the Consulates General in Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Xiamen stopped accepting visa applications from February 8, 20 14.

In other words, Singapore visas are no longer issued by individuals, and travel agencies need to be authorized to apply for visas.

As citizens of Class I countries, friends need to prepare the following materials:

1. Passport * 1

2. Form 14A Visa Application Form (original) * 1

3. Color photos *2

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

5. Visa fee: The visa fee is NT$ 30 yuan per person. The visa fee is not refundable. The designated unit/travel agency will charge visa fees and additional service fees. From February 6th, 2008, the Singapore visa fee will be fixed at 300 yuan RMB. The fixed fee will include the visa fee of S $30 paid by the visa applicant to the Singapore government and the visa service fee charged by the authorized travel agency. Before applying for a visa, please check with the designated unit/travel agency for the details of the fees.

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

A. employment certificate:

If the applicant is unemployed, he/she needs to provide documents to prove his/her personal financial situation, such as bank deposit certificate (original and photocopy). There is no specific requirement for the amount of bank deposit certificate, but the date issued by the bank must be within one month from the date of submitting the visa application. This certificate should truly reflect your financial ability.

B Household register: the applicant's household register (complete, each page: original and copy). If it is a collective account, you can provide the original and photocopy or go to the police station to apply for a household registration certificate.

Tips 1: tourist visas in Singapore are valid for 35 days to 5 years (it is said that some small partners have applied for visas valid for 10 years, but it should be rare. The validity of a visa depends not only on the mood of the visa officer, but also on the completeness and Excellence of the materials you submit.

Tip 2: Visa fee 300 yuan RMB. For different visa channels and travel agencies, too high or too low visa prices have certain uncertainties and risks.

Tips3: the problem of proof of work. I saw other people's visa experience sharing before. In order to get a visa smoothly, some partners let Taobao or friends issue false work certificates, and then get a visa smoothly. I personally don't agree with this. First of all, fraud itself is not a good behavior. Moreover, once verified by the staff of the visa country, it will greatly affect the image of China people in the visa country, and may also indirectly affect the visa passing rate of future generations. Therefore, personal advice must be that all materials are true and complete, and no falsification is allowed. General travel agencies will provide templates for work certificates. You'd better ask the travel agency for one. The certificate should indicate that the company agrees to take a vacation, and specify the applicant's working time, position and salary in the company in detail. The letter of appointment certificate must list the company address, telephone number, fax number and relevant contacts, and affix the official seal. (Some travel agencies require that some funds be frozen for unemployed applicants, which should be to prevent the applicants from staying in Singapore illegally for a long time. But in the official request, there is no freezing of funds, so this request is unreasonable and legal).

Visa processing flow

First, the validity period:

The validity period of the visa is generally 3 months to 10 years, and the specific time is determined by the Singapore Consulate. Under normal circumstances, tourists without exit records will give more.

Since June of 1, 20 15, Singapore has opened multiple-entry visas for China citizens 10. Visitors who have visited Singapore may obtain multiple-entry visas for 10 years when they apply for a Singapore visa again. (However, few people actually get the 10 year contract. )

Second, the stay time:

No more than 30 days at a time.

Three. Visa fee:

The Singapore Consulate charges 300 yuan RMB, while the intermediary charges service fees ranging from 100-300 yuan.

Four. Signature time:

After applying for 1-3 days, it will take about one week if it is handed over to the agent.

5. Do you need an interview?

No need.

Processing flow of intransitive verbs:

The visa office in Singapore does not accept individuals to go to the embassy. Applicants are usually represented by travel agencies or agents. As long as the materials are ready and handed over to the intermediary, you can wait to sign the contract.

If you have friends or relatives who are Singaporeans or PR, you can ask them to be guarantors and apply directly to the Singapore Immigration Bureau in official website.
