Hi, I want to go to Guangzhou to a factory to make clothing for a month. I want to commute from hong kong.
I m a non- chinese permanant HkID card Holder. I will be using BN(o) passport.
How can i get a multiple visa for china, rather than paying for it everytime i enter china. As i live in london, is it better for me to get a visa here in london or in Hk? I have a very limited time too.
Please help.

Interesting, I thought BN(O) was purely for HK citizens. Mm, how could u be holding a BN(O) passport without holding a HK ID ? Prove me wrong please.

He or she has an ID card. You can get a 3 year multiple tourist visa for about $1200 HKD - I currently hold a BN(O) and I have one. It takes about 3 days if you apply here in HK.

is it applicable to canadians as well?

thanks.

Ketasammy, wondering if you are a british passport holder as well as a BN(O) holder ? I am a british passport holder myself the british passport office would allow me to hold a HKSAR passport but a BN(O). is that right ? -

although not much of use with the BN(O), the HKSAR is much useful in use on travelling purposes than the BN(O)

EU.. As i was born in Hong kong, but not Chinese. By birth right i was given Hong kong permanent ID card. With that i aplied for BN(o) passport before 1997 Hand over.
Now i live in London.
Jay is that 3 years multiple visa for non- chinese with a permanent hkid card holder or do you have to be ethnic chinese?

This is discrimination !! why non chinese are only allowed to have a 3 yrs visa but chinese can have 10 yrs? If they have got the same type of permanent ID card and same sort of passport, they should then receive the same treatments as any other chinese regardless your origin.

It would not happen in Europe. If the British government said to the ethic group's british passport holders that you are not allowed to do this and that....except for the white british, I am sure the government will be brough to the European court for against human rights and discrimination.

I do have a permanent ID card but not the one with 3 stars because I am not ethnic Chinese.

I have a 3 years multi-entry business visa and I am quite happy with that. Not sure why they have 3 years tourist visa.

I don' t think we can talk about discrimination here because if you are Chinese you do not need a visa to go to China what you need is a re-entry permit (allowing people not from the Mainland to go see their relatives). It is not a visa it looks like an ID card.

It can be difficult for 3rd or 4th generation Chinese to get it if they cannot provide supporting documents it would be the same in Israel AFAIK.
