Is there any required Visa from Manila to Shanghai

You need to apply for a tourist visa (L) for this trip. If you will visit your friend in shanghai, invitation letter from her/him is required, as well as copies of passport information page, China visa and residence permit. Or copy of ID if your friend is a Chinese.

What if I go only for tour. Actually I will meet up my friend there hes not a chinese nor residence so how to proceed. How much for applying the Visa and how long it takes? Thanks and Kind regards.

If only for a tour, you should prepare a copy of the round-trip plane ticket and Hotel reservation. If you visit China for the first time, you need to prepare following:
1. original NBI clearance valid for travel abroad
2. original bank certificate with receipt or original passbook, updated within the month that you are applying for China visa.
3. for employed persons, also provide an employment certificate, company ID, SSS ID and contributions, TIN ID and latest ITR
4. for businessmen, provide business registration of company, TIN ID and latest ITR.
Visa fee is 1,400 Peso for single entry and it generally takes about 4 working days.
