L visa May 2nd, got the 90 day doubly 30 day entry L or tourist visa. $1600HK for U. S. passport
Just made a trip to Hong Kong, Kawloon, went & got new visa, talked with a gent with a British passport & he paid 1250 for the same visa.
There was a $100hk fee for dummy plane ticket & hotel reservations, included in the 1600, have heard some HK agents don’t charge the 100 extra.
My place says if in by 11am, can pick up next day 12:30 – 1:00 (I did). In before 3pm can get the next day tween 5 & 6.
I only gave my passport & one photo, they did the rest, dang near positive it’s a legit visa as I just passed through Luohu a few hours ago.
My heart sank when the currier handed the agent 5 or 6 passports saying “one got declined”… not sure the story, I shoulda asked but was in a rush to get the 1:15 ferry back to Shekou, which I missed.
I’ve heard first hand of 3 different agents getting the 90 day tourist visa good for 2-30 day entries for U.S. & British, looks like many of the usual travel / visa agents Can get for the top 7 or 8 countries.
In the travel office was a sign listing countries they Can’t get the visa for, long list that excluded any of the top countries, too many for me to remember. I have a couple HK agent numbers if someone needs, PM me.
Departing in Shekou yesterday, at the ferry port, they scanned my lightly packed bag, along with Everything people were carrying. I had a bundle of pink notes in mine, they pulled me out of line, looked in my bag & asked `how much? Then they said Only 20,000 RMB was allowed each time out leaving China, but, they’ll let me through with my 30k, but next time I need to be careful to pay attention & let they me through.
A Normal uneventful entry back through Luohu at 2pm today, seemed quiet though.
Heard rumor U.S. passports being declined the one year multy visa, In the states as of 8 days ago, `hope not.
I’m good till August with this one, gonna wait till then to know what / how my next visa will be.
In Beijing they aren't issuing the student visas anymore. Apparently, even those students who have visas are asked to go home.
Cheeky,
the students are being "asked" to go...
is that only for the summer holiday, game time?
