Selected Questions and Answers:
Asked by Ms. LaputaI am a Burundi passport holder. Since I will be transiting in Hong Kong, I intend to stay there for a few days, I'd also like to visit mainland PRC at the same time. My question is, can I get my Chinese visa in Hong Kong. This is my first time applying for it, and I heard that I have to go back to Malaysia if this is my first time; otherwise, I have the chance of it if I am applying in Hong Kong. Please kindly advice. Thank you!
Answered by Ms. HebeAs I know, it is possible to apply for it at the commission of the ministry of foreign affairs of P.R.C in HKSAR, even though it is your first-time application if only you can provide all the necessary documents. At the same time, if you can’t get it by yourself, you may turn to a travel agency for help.
