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.

About urgent visa processing

If the visa officer accepts an urgent visa process, how many days would that take? And how much more would one have to pay?

Answered by Belly from ZAMBIA | Sep. 18, 2019 20:38

If the officer accepts an urgent visa application, it may take one working day for the processing. You need to pay extra K280 for the urgent service. Besides, you should pay the visa fee.
