Prodigal Son Posted February 27, 2010 at 07:20 AM Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 at 07:20 AM Where's the best place to get one? Can anyone recommend a place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted February 28, 2010 at 09:49 AM Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 at 09:49 AM Last I looked you needed a HK ID card if you wanted anything without a 30 day stay restriction. The days of the easy HK F visa are over - although I'd like to be the first to know if they come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodigal Son Posted February 28, 2010 at 10:03 AM Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 at 10:03 AM That's what I had feared - thanks for confirming my suspicion though, Roddy. I'm headed for HK in a few days and figured it was worth inquiring. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianlondon Posted February 28, 2010 at 11:37 AM Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 at 11:37 AM Go to Forever Bright. Probably named after their awful website ... http://www.fbt-chinavisa.com.hk/ I went there, UK passport, last November and got an L visa valid for 90 days. OK, they're all valid for 90 days but until that visa they all had "duration of stay: 30 days" on them; this one didn't. So, single entry 90 day stay.

roddy Posted February 28, 2010 at 11:54 AM Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 at 11:54 AM That's fairly decent. If you can get that I wouldn't be surprised if they'll give you 2 90-day stays. Although if you plan to ultimately change to an F visa within China, that'll likely be more expensive going L>F than F>F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianlondon Posted February 28, 2010 at 12:35 PM Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 at 12:35 PM I actually felt bad for "wasting" it as I only stayed in China for 6 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onebir Posted March 23, 2010 at 10:17 AM Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 at 10:17 AM The days of the easy HK F visa are over - although I'd like to be the first to know if they come back. Someone I know, who's familiar with the various classes of Chinese, told me he was offered a 6m F in HK by one of the usual suspects about six weeks ago. He just wanted an L - so he didn't ask about the price. Availability of the F's wasn't mentioned on their website & he thinks phoning rather than emailing agents may get a more accurate picture of what's available. Perhaps if anyone gets some good news they could start a separate thread entitled "Really useful visa agents in HK". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
