Hi. I am philips. I got China visa. But I don’t know yet whether I can go Hongkong to Shenzhen without HK visa.
As per embassy said, I got China visa no need to apply Hongkong visa. Is it really right? Please advise me asap. Thanks

Hi Erik,

This was posted several years ago. I have not had to do this for almost a couple of years so I’m not sure if it works anymore or not, I know during the Olympics it did not.

If your friends are not living in Hong Kong or China at the moment, the best bet is to try and get a business visa from the Chinese consulate / embassy nearest where they live. If they can’t get one there, it’s unlikely they can get one in HK.

You might want to do a search for a visa processing office in Hong Kong and ask them.

Hi James – I don’t see why they wouldn’t give you at least a two entry (one month each entry) tourist visa in Hong Kong. Another option that would probably work fine is going to the Immigration bureau in Shanghai and applying for a 30 day extension on your tourist visa, you can only do this once for any given visa but they usually will grant one, you’d have to figure out whether they would or not first though.

The disadvantage of this, though, is that you would probably need to surrender your passports for a week or so, whereas in Hong Kong you can get your visa & passport back the same or next day.

Hi! We are in China on a 1 month tourist visa. We are cycling to Shanghai and need to extend visa for another month. We would like to go to Hong Kong to do this and leave our cycles and some gear in China, however we are worried that if visa was not granted our stuff would be stranded in China and us in Hong Kong! Could you advise on whether there is any chance we would not be granted new 1 month single entry tourist visa? We are both UK passport holders. Thanks
