visa application for child below 18 travelling to china without his parents

Question

I am a malaysian & plan to take my 15 year old nephew (of nationality Malaysian & holding his own Malaysian passport, born in New Zealand & legally a permanent resident of New  Zealand) for a visit to Guangzhou & our ancestral village in Guangdong province. After the visit, we will take the train to Hong Kong, spend a few days there & fly from Hong Kong back to Malaysia. Should my nephew apply for his entry permit in the PRC Embassy in Auckland or in Malaysia? Does a child below 18 need his parents ( family residing in Auckland as NZ permanent residents ) to apply for his entry permit? If yes, please advise documentation & if he has to apply in Auckland as his parents are not in Malaysia. My nephew will fly from Auckland to Kuala Lumpur & our journey starts from Kuala Lumpur. I have purchased air tickets from Kuala Lumpur to Guangzhou & from Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur. Is that sufficient proof of leaving PRC after our visit? Thank you.

Hi, Chow, he can apply from the consulate in Auckland. The application can be done by his parents or someone else on his behalf. The documents needed include his passport, a copy of the passport's photo page, an application form, a recent photo, the original and photocopy of his residence card, a copy of both parents' passports, an authorization letter signed by both parents, round-trip tickets and hotel reservations. If you plan to stay at the village, you can get an invitation letter form someone you know there so that the hotel reservations and flight tickets are not required. If your nephew applies from Auckland, he may be required to submit the ticket from New Zealand to KL and to Guangzhou.I personally think the return ticket from HK to KL is sufficient proof for your leaving.
