I graduated from UTAR and my degree certificate is in tri-languages, so no translation is needed. Haha.

Perhaps we should create a wechat group for all the Malaysian expats that are working in China?

Hi, how about your transcript? That is only in English IINM and about 3-4 pages am I right? That needs to be translated into Chinese at ITNM too? ~Rm100 per page? Omg that is expensive shocking.gif

Update on point no. 2.

Once online status show "Ready for Collection", you may head over Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Malaysia to collect which will need to pay RM20 upon collection.
Note: dont have to print the slip, just show the reference code to collect.


Is incorrect. Went there without the print out and was asked to print out the application page from ekonsular from a nearby kiosk. Costs RM2.50. So better to print before coming to MOFA for collection of CGC.

Only academic cert, CGC and company referral letter need to be translated to Chinese. Transcript is not needed.

Total damage (ex accommodations and transport)
* Translation of degree EN -> ZH = RM180
* Legalize at MOFA = RM40
* Authenticate at China embassy for EN and ZH = RM360
* Medical checkup = RM400
* SPF Cert of Clearance = SGD50
* Translation of SPF COC = SGD50
* Authenticate at China = SGD60

Total for paperwork = RM980 + SGD160 (not including Grab rides from Wangsa Maju to Putrajaya to KL)

It's possible translated copy needs not to be legalised by MOFA and authenticated by China. In Singapore MOFA does not legalise my translated copy, and the visa center don't authenticate it.

Hihi thanks for sharing.

May I know what documents did you need to authenticate at China embassy? How is the breakdown of the RM360 to authenticate at China embassy?
When you say China embassy, do you mean at the Chinese Visa Application Service Centre (Level 6 Hampshire Place Office)?

I already have:
1. Employee referral letters from my previous company(s) English & Mandarin
2. Degree cert, English & Mandarin (translated at ITBM) - both notarized by KPT & MOFA
3. Certificate of Good Conduct English & Mandarin (translated at ITBM) - both notarized by MOFA
4. Photocopy of passport (more than enough 6 months of validity)

According to TS, my next step is to bring all these to the Chinese Visa Application Service Centre and authentication processing fee is 4 working days @ RM164.80/copy
That will cost a bomb rclxub.gif

Rough estimate:
Referral letters (6 pages) + degree certs (3 pages) + cert of good conduct (2 pages) + passport (1 page)
that will be 12 pages x RM164.80 = Rm1977

I'm stuck, can someone guide me please? shocking.gif

1. When you say China embassy, do you mean at the Chinese Visa Application Service Centre (Level 6 Hampshire Place Office)?  - YES. For simplicity's sake I will just say China embassy from now on, although you always go to Hampshire

Errata, it's RM160/copy, my apologies.

So the modus operandi is like this:

1. China embassy will only authenticate documents stamped by MOFA.
2. MOFA will only legalize certain documents signed by people they have signatures of.
3. That means your employer referral letters need, passport photocopies need not go through these steps.

BTW in Singapore, MOFA here does not legalize any translated copy and the visa center in Singapore will not authenticate it. The implication is, provided we have translated the documents at a sworn translator, not at ITBM, do we even need to pay RM160 for the Chinese translations? But if you are willing to pay, you should do it just to save some time for yourself and your new employer.

You should have:

1. Employer referral letter - in Chinese with company stamp or wet signature, contact info. No need authentication.
2. Degree, English and Chinese. Need authentication on English photocopy, but unsure if authentication needed on Chinese translation.
3. Police certificate same as (2).
4. Medical report signed off and sealed by Tung Shin Hospital, before the nurse seals, scan the whole report up with ur phone.

Anyway I just sent these to HR, dunno if it works yet!

Thank you so much for sharing. Do you need to go through a long queue when collecting your authenticated documents from China embassy?

Got rejected in pre-approval check 预审 , reason being not enough work exp AFTER graduation.

I have worked 8 months full time in KL and 2.5 yrs part time for SG company while studying, all these before degree date don't count. And I am just 5 months away from 24 months requirement.
