I am in Baoding, Hebei and want to travel to Singapore on my own. How do I apply for a visa? Is it easy to handle? I don't want to go with a group. How much? Thanks.

You need to apply for a Singapore personal tourist visa in Beijing. You can go to the embassy visa center or a travel agency. If you go to the embassy yourself, you will need more materials, which is more troublesome. If you go to a travel agency, you will need less materials, but it will be more expensive. So it depends on the poster, how to choose, whether it is cheaper or less troublesome.

If you don’t join a group, you can travel independently, which means air tickets, hotels, and visas.

Among them, for air tickets, you can come to Beijing from Hebei first, and then fly there. If you don’t have any big requirements for airlines, just choose Jetstar, a low-cost airline. If you check with a travel agency, group tickets will be much cheaper (you only need air tickets, not joining a group). You should be able to get them for about 2,500, usually for five nights.

As for a hotel, I personally recommend finding a hotel close to the subway station. For 3 stars, I recommend Singapore V Hotel. It is next to the subway lavender station. It is very close. It is only a minute's walk away and half a mile from the airport. It's definitely within hours, making it easy to travel. If you want four stars, stay at the Oasis Hotel in Singapore. It is next to the Novena MRT station. From the MRT, you can walk directly to the third underground floor of the hotel. They are all very convenient hotels. I would not recommend them if they are five-star hotels. To be honest, they are all about the same, and the hotels are not necessarily very good. The price of a three-star hotel is about 800/room/night, and the price of a four-star hotel is about 1100/room/night.

The other thing is the visa. If you need to find a travel agency for a Singapore personal tourist visa, the price is about 300 (you can apply for it by asking me~~~). The required materials are: original passport, original proof of employment (travel agencies all have With template), 2 2-inch bareheaded photos with white background, copies of the front and back of ID card, and copy of household registration book. It takes about 3 working days to ship out, very fast.

The rest is to eat, drink and have fun. Singapore is very developed and the consumption level is higher than that in Beijing. A meal costs about 10 Singapore dollars (50 yuan), and the price of water is also 3 Yuan, but it is also a new currency, so it is not cheap. When it comes to fun, if you don’t go to Universal Studios in Singapore, it’s your loss, so you must go to Universal Studios. You can go to the more unique Night Zoo, Singapore’s Ferris Wheel, Gardens by the Bay, etc. It's a very nice place.

If you want to buy things, you can go to Orchard Road, the city center of Singapore, which is equivalent to Xidan in Beijing here. It’s very good~~ but the price is a bit high and the discount is also very low. If there is no event, the discount will only be around 5. There are also many shopping malls in Raffles City in Singapore. The prices are lower than those on Orchard Road, but they have no special features. The discounts are usually 10-15.

If you want to buy souvenirs, you can go to Little India (it is just a red light district, but the souvenirs are still very good), Chinatown (it is Chinatown, mainly Chinese, and the souvenirs sold are also with Chinese characteristics) Mainly made of local stuff, but it also incorporates some local characteristics, so some are still available for purchase).

Taking everything into account, it would cost at least 7,000 to travel alone, including food and accommodation. You can also go to Bintan Island, which is very close to Singapore. It is called the back garden of Singapore. It is an island-shaped city and belongs to Indonesia. It takes about 55 minutes to get there by boat from Singapore, but there is an hour time difference, so be careful~~~

Having said so much, if you still don’t understand anything, you can add me on QQ: 451374137. Personally, I think it is very professional~~~
