About:Chinese Embassy in South Africa
Hi
I am a South African citizen. I am currently awaiting my new permanent passport since the old one expired. I am in posession of temporary passport that is valid for one year while I await my new permanent one. I need to travel to Beijing and Hong Kong. Can I use my temporary passport if I have not yet received my permanent one by the time that I am due to travel? Rgds A
