how to get a visa if you are not currently workingdo not have a permanent residence?

Question

Hi, I have a friend who is American, but is staying in Germany right now. He wants to visit China soon, but in the application process it says he will have to present proof of the place he is living.  However, he does not have a permanent residence there because he just finished his job and is now traveling.  So what should he give as a proof of his residence if he is just traveling in Germany?He also just finished his job, so he cannot present a letter from his work unit because he does not have one. So is this necessary?

Ashley, based on what I know, when you apply for it in a third country, the original and photocopy of valid certificates of residence, employment or student status, or other valid certificates of legal stay provided by the relevant authorities is needed when apply for it in Germany. Maybe he can find an agency and see if the agency can find a way to solve this problem. Otherwise, he is advised to go back to his home country and apply for it.
