Hello, I am a New Zealander currently living in Europe. I am coming back to NZ in January, and I plan to stop over in Hong Kong and travel to China with a Chinese friend. Do I need a visa to exit the airport in Hong Kong, and can I apply for a Chinese visa in Hong Kong? How much does it cost exactly? Thanks.

Ms.MILES(United Kingdom) replied:
You don't need a visa fro your stopover in Hk, and you can apply for the China mainland visa in Hk.
The visa fee is 150 Hk dollars.

I am a New Zealander and I plan to spend two nights in Shanghai. Do I have to make sure my stay is less than exactly 48 hours?

Ms.HELPER(Canada) replied:
Yes, you do, since you will have to apply for a visa if your stay exceeds 48 hours in Shanghai.

Hi there.Im a NZ citizen wishing to apply for a Z work visa to work in China.I have some questions regarding the physical examination record for foreigners.
Firstly is a chest xray exam required and if so what type of xray examination?Secondly what kind of ECG exam is needed.Thirdly what kind of Laboratory Exam is required.
I understand that the company employing me will require me to undergo a medical examination once in China so Im understandably a little confused.
Thanks for your assistance in advance

Mr.Cameron replied:
Please download the PHysical Exam Form from the website below, on which it clearly states what you have to take.
I think you have to do the exam in NZ, since the China Embassy require it for the visa application.

Dear Sir,
I am a Cameroonian living in Auckland , New Zealand , I wish to inquire whether it's possible to extend my passport which will currently expire on 9/12/2010 using cameroon Embassy in China.
Sir it's important to make mention of the fact that we have no Cameroonian Embassy in New Zealand and the Cameroon Consular in Australia cannot extend and/or issue a new passport as well.
I will need your advise and assistant on how to renew my passport because to best of my know cameroon embassy is the closest embassy who can help us over here in New Zealand with this practical problem of obtaining a new and/or passport extention.
Hope hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
Roland

Hi...We are in Vietnam & wish to cross to China using either UK or NZ passports. We plan on crossing over mid November. We have a flight booked 28th Dec, Kunming to Hong Kong (6 weeks).
After 6 days in Hong Kong we wish to travel by train to Guilin returning to Hong Kong 22 Jan to fly to NZ.(3 weeks). We're getting conflicting information as to the length of time we can stay in China. What sort of visa should we apply for. Currently in Hanoi. :-)

The duration of a single entry China tourist visa is 30 days.
Oct. 27,2009 09:26
Mr.APAULT(China) replied:
It sounds like you will exit and re-enter China mainland, therfore you will need at least a dual entry visa. The maximum length is 2 months for dual or multiple entry visas, or 3 for singkle entry. However, if you apply in Vietnam or Hong Kong (and many otherb countries other than yopur normal place of residence) you might find that you are limited to a 30 day visa. But if you apply for a dual entry that will grant 2 x 30 day visits, multiple entry may give you 12 months to visit but exiting every 30 days.

Hi I am a New Zealand citizen who is travelling through Asia. I am currently in South Korea as a tourist, but I want to apply for a 6 month visa for China from South Korea. Can I apply (on a tourist visa, from Korea) or do I need to apply from my home country and apply for a tourist visa for China?

I think you can apply for the China visa from the China Embassy in South Africa, but you have to confirm with the embassy.
