The demand for Chinese visas has grown rapidly in recent years in Singapore. To provide a better service for visa applicants, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the Republic of Singapore, following the success of the visa centres of other countries, decides to introduce the Chinese Visa Application Service Centre (CVASC). CVASC is responsible for accepting visa applications of ordinary passport holders for visiting mainland China, collecting visa fees on behalf of the Embassy and returning passports.
