I am a Singapore citizen intending to visit Guangzhou in January-February 2010 for a period of more than 15 days, and I understand that a Visa is required for this extended stay. I am aware that for the processing of a Tourist Visa, the following documents are required:
1. One completely filled out visa application form. No item should be blank .
2. One recently taken 2X2 inch photo showing entire face and without a hat on, affixed to the application form.
3. Original passport with at least 2 blank visa pages and valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of application.
4. Round trip airline ticket and hotel reservation. Application for visiting family or friends should provide certificate of relationship.
May I clarify if I were to be visiting my friend, what type of document is required to certify the relationship? Also, are there any other files that the consul may require?
