Hi, All

I have working visa for HK,however i am interested in finding out rules/guidelines on working from Shenzhen.
I am worried about having to get my passport stamped every-day on the Chinese side as it will exhaust all mypassport pages. Is there a way in which there a special arrangement for people living in SZ but working in HK.I have 12 months Multi-entry China visa.

thanks for you comments

umm... nope, you'd have to get it stamped every time...

is your purpose for wanting to live there to save $?if so, why not just live in the new territories, say sheung shui or fanling? it is much cheaper and you don't have the hassle of passing through immigration twice per day! (that would be a major pain in the backside, if you ask me!)

You're going to have to pony up for a passport that has extra pages.

Unless you are a HK local/resident, there is no way you're going to avoid getting your passport stamped when you cross between the HKSAR and the SZ Mainland.


Why do you want to live in Shenzhen anyway ?

Every day, that would be a nightmare. Not that it can't be done but you will add serious time for going through the China side each way, pay more for the train (the most expensive part of the journey is the part between Sheung Shui and the border) and get your passport filled pdq.

You can't get away from any of the above so just make it part of the daily routine if you decide to do things that way.

I do the opposite every day and it is a nightmare.
Immigration always takes time (both HK and PRC), the train is expensive and the passport fills up. Plus you have the sticky-fingered people who prowl the Lo Wu area.
I'm with Carang, move to the NT.

AND add to that... Hong Kong Immd will eventually put a stop to your daily visits and require you to get an employment or long term visa.

He does say he HAS a working visa which makes the original question really strange.

To legally live in China you either have to be a China national - which would negate the passport problem, so he must be a foreigner. So - as a foreigner to live in China he must have an Aliens Employment permit to support his residence visa - Both of which means he has to be employed in China and sponsored by a company. So - why and how does he have a HK "working" visa?

This is gets to be a very circular discussion don't you think? Unless of course he means he has just has an F visa issued by China for 12 month unlimited HK entry, which isn't an employment visa, most have assumed he meant. Then of course we would all reply that he can't work here.

Really weird.
