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?
