Selected Questions and Answers:
Asked by Mr. humphrey I’m based in Hong Kong. I would want to know about the new passports. Pls can anybody help me with the information? I am trying to get it but I can not
Answered by Mrs. Ceile I find that there is no consulate-general in Hong Kong. Maybe you have to renew your passport in your home country, since you will have to apply for a visa if you renew your passport at your Embassy in Beijing or Zambia’s oversea commissions in other countries or regions near to Hong Kong.
Asked by Ms. Odei
I had admission to read mbbs at a Chinese university before, but I failed to go after I got the visa due to some inconvenience. And now I have gotten another school. I want to know if I have to re-apply or renew my old X for the new school? Answered by Mr. Elliott
Yeah, you have to apply for a new visa with the documents provided by your new school in China.

Finally, how long does it take for it to expire?
00ReplyIn addition to the basic requirements including passport, application form and more, one most important is China Work Permit issued by China government. You should get employeed at first and then ask your employer to obtain it for you. If all requirements are submitted, it usually takes 4 working days to process it. The visa fee is K300.
