Foreign tourists can apply for a Chinese visa in Hong Kong.
The Immigration Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region provides visa application services, and foreign citizens can apply for corresponding visa types based on different purposes of traveling to China. For example, tourist visas, business visas, family visit visas, etc. In addition, according to the information of Chinese embassies and consulates abroad, foreigners can apply for Chinese visas through Chinese embassies and consulates abroad, visa centers or online application platforms. When applying for a visa, it is necessary to fill out the application form and submit the required materials, such as passport, photo, invitation letter, work certificate, educational certificate, etc.
It should be noted that Hong Kong, Macau, and mainland China implement different entry and exit controls. Foreign citizens traveling to Hong Kong or Macau may need to apply for a visa in advance depending on the situation. In addition, since March 15, 2023, the visa and entry policies for foreigners in China have been adjusted, including the resumption of the entry function of visas issued before March 28, 2020 and still within the validity period, and the resumption of the review and issuance of various visas for foreigners to China by visa agencies stationed abroad.
Therefore, foreign tourists can apply for a Chinese visa in Hong Kong, but they need to prepare the corresponding application materials according to the latest visa policies and requirements, and follow the prescribed procedures for application.
