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

Answered by Mr. Elliott
Yeah, you have to apply for a new visa with the documents provided by your new school in China.

Amp, you can't extend a China visa outside China. If your trip is postponed, you should apply for a new visa.

Answered by Rose | Mar. 03, 2019 21:55

Single entrance allows you to enter China for only once. The first step is to prepare all the required documents including passport and its copy, a completed application form attached with a passport-style photo, invitation letter from your Chinese partner, as well as others. Next step is to submit the application to the embassy of China.
