Dear Sir or Madame,

I am a British Citizen living in The Netherlands. In January 2011, I will be traveling to New Zealand from Amsterdam, and on the way there I would like to stay in Hong Kong for 2 days. I will leave New Zealand on 10th March to return to Amsterdam and would like to stay for a long weekend in Shanghai.

Could you please advise me what type of visa I require for Hong Kong and Shanghai with my British Passport? Also how do I obtain the visa?

Many thanks
