For many people, being unable to extend their visas in China came quite as a surprise during the last weeks. Faced with the sudden need for a new visa, a short trip to Hong Kong is often the economically most advantageous option. Beware of the traps though! The commissioner's office in Hong Kong has considerably tightened the rules for visa issuance, too.If you are from one of the following countries, your best choice is to apply for a new visa in your home country, as the Hong Kong visa office is very unlikely to process your request.
Afghanistan / Algeria / Bangladesh / Congo / Egypt / Gambia / Ghana / Guinea / India / Indonesia / Iran / Iraq / Kaiakhstan / Kirghiziani / Libya / Malaysia / Mali / Mauritania / Monaco / Nepal / Nigeria / Pakistan / Philippines / Saudi Arabia / Sierra Leone / South Africa / Sri Lanka / Sudan / Syrian / Tajikistan / Tunisia / Turkey / Uzbekistan
Currently, L and Z visas are issued in Hong Kong to all other nationalities, but things change on a daily basis and you'll have to make sure you can extend yours by calling before you leave.To apply for a tourist (L) visa in Hong Kong, you can either go to the Commissioner's Office yourself:Address7th Floor, Lower Block, China Resources Building,No.26, Harbor Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong SAROffice HoursMonday to Friday (except Hong Kong public holidays,)9:00-12:00 14:00-17:00
WebsiteYou will be asked to hand in all
documents you usually need to provide for an L visa application.For those constantly living in China and for some reason not holding a Z visa, getting hotel and flight bookings often proves difficult. One solution to this problem is to go through one of the many experienced
travel and visa agencies in Hong Kong; most of them will take care of all the bookings and deliver a hassle-free visa.Please be aware that you will most likely only get a 30 days tourist visa for the time being. This can, according to current regulations,
be extended twice in China, up to a total duration of stay of 90 days.Concerning Z visas from Hong Kong, the official information is that Z visas have to be applied for in your respective home country. However, over the past weeks, no applicant with all necessary documents was rejected and we have reason to hope the situation will remain stable.
It is also possible to get visa in other adjacent countries, the most popular ones being Vietnam, India and Thailand. However, embassies might be less experienced in dealing with third country applicants, so please make sure you call ahead before getting stuck. Recently, the Chinese embassy in Korea stated that only applicants with Korean residence permits will be accepted!
