Frequently Asked Questions:
(1) I am going to Guangzhou to attend Canton Fair first, then
to Hong Kong (or Macao) and back to mainland China again. Will single
entry visa suffice???
No! You need to apply for a double entry visa in this case. Because, Hong Kong
and Macao are Special Administrative Region. Once you go there from mainland
China, you are considered to exit China already. Therefore you need another
visa to go back in. You may apply for re-entry visa to the Visa Section for
Aliens of the Commissioner mentioned in Item 2 or Division of Aliens and
Exit-Entry Administration of Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau (Add:
No.155 Jie Fang Nan Road, Guangzhou.)
2 How Can I extend my VISA in Guangzhou?
If you need to stay longer while you are in Guangzhou, please submit your
passport to the Foreign Affairs Department of the Guangzhou Public Security
Bureau or the Foreign Affairs Department of Guangdong Public Security bureau.
Allow one or two days for the extension to be processed. Do not overstay.
3 Do I need a VISA for a visit to Hong Kong?
Passport holders of certain countries or holding certain passports DO NOT need a
visa during the specified visa-free period. Travelers who are not from those
countries or those who want to stay longer need to apply for the appropriate
visa or entry permit from the nearest Chinese Embassy. As an alternative, you
may submit your visa or entry permit application to the HKSAR Immigration
Department either directly by post or through a local sponsor. More detailed
information can be accessed at the website of the Immigration Department of the
Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region at the following page:
