Dear Sir,

I am an Indian passport holder (and a Permanent Resident of Singapore), currently writing from Singapore.
My parents are Indian passport holders and are currently in Singapore on a tourist visa.

We all have planned a tourist trip to China and the visa application office earlier said that my parents can also apply for a visa from Singapore. However they are now saying the parents will have to go back to India to apply. In the meantime, we have made all arrangements such as flights, accomodation etc. My parents are senior citizens and it is difficult for them to come back to India specifically for this.

I wanted to request you -- can my parents obtain a Chinese visa without having to travel back? As a special case, can i request that the embassy in Singapore issue a visa to them please. I presume this can only be possible if we plead to you and you in turn ask the embassy in Singapore to do so.

Thanks a lot for your time!

Regards,
Vipin
