Applying for a Chinese visa will become easier for Singapore residents from Monday as the Chinese embassy here takes steps to address growing demand for travel to China.
China’s Ambassador to Singapore Sun Haiyan said in a Facebook post on Saturday that the Chinese Visa Application Service Centre will increase the number of daily appointments for emergency visa applications amid a “significant rise” in such applications.
The increase in visa applications has been accompanied by problems such as long waiting times for appointment slots. Checks by The Straits Times on Saturday found that the next available slot for a visa appointment is on June 7.
