Dear sir I hope to visit China how can I apply?

Dear, first of all, you need to collect all documents needed, including your passport which should be valid for at least six months, a copy of the passport, a duly filled application form of which the first page is attached with a recently-taken bare-headed photo, the original and photocopy of your residence permit or work permit in Maldives, and an invitation letter from your friend. In addition, you may also need to submit an invitation letter from a duly authorized unit or a copy of your friend's passport or ID card. Then, you can go to the embassy to submit the application.
