By now, you'd probably have heard of the dreadful queue situation at the Chinese Visa Application Service Centre with some folks turning up to wait in line as early as 4am in the morning,However, if you're not keen to spend your time queuing and risk getting turned away, there're opportunists willing to queue for you. For a price of course.
At the time of writing, AsiaOne saw that there were at least three listings on Carousell with people offering their services to queue for China visas.In both posts, which are in Chinese, he said he's willing to queue for about 10 hours, from 11pm the night before and will stay in line till 8.40am the next morning.
"If you want to, you can private message me. The price is negotiable, thank you," he wrote in Chinese.He too offered to queue for around 10 hours but added that the buyer will have to take over the queue at 9am when the application opens.On May 6, content creator Ong Yi Ting shared that she had gone down early to the170 people in front of her. However, she ended up not securing a slot.
That arrangement has yet to be reinstated, which has led to lengthy queues, some overnight, at the Chinese visa application centre in Singapore. The Chinese ambassador to Singapore Sun Haiyan wrote in a Facebook post last month: "Hope that the competent authorities of the two sides can achieve positive results as soon as possible."
