In the interim, and a good idea for the longer term, pair up with and train locals who can help you if not replace you entirely, as in a buddy sytem.

Not on a tourist visa for a start! I guess stopping abuse like this is one reason the Chinese are cracking down.

Hello,
I just called the China VISA in HungHom office (phone 2334 9333) and they told me I cannot get Multiple entries VISA, only 1 entry, or 2 if I have chance.

Anybody else also got this information ?

Actually I dont know what kind of Visa I have now maybe it is business, I have visa "F" now.
I have already 3 Chinese Visa on my passeport (and the last one is valid until 20th May).
I think it is possible to get 2 entries only.

You should still be able to get a double entry 30 day visa through an agent in Hong Kong.

Yes I've done this before and at one point my new passport has no visa on it but is full of China immigration stamps. But also note that my old multi expired last month before the new regulation came into effect

I have a valid multi entry L (tourist) visa.
I do not have a hkid.
I live in Hong Kong.

I am going to SZ tomorrow, does anyone have experience with this. All the posts stating that their multi-entry hasnt be revoked are with F visa or/and HKID holders.

Thanks

This is not legally possible, so you are an illegal alien. Maybe you will get arrested. When you are inside try not to drop the soap in the showers.
