required entry visas

Question

Hi, I am a Canadian citizen living in Australia and will be visiting first Beijing, than Hong Kong, than Shanghai.  I know I need a multiple entry visa, but do I need a visa for my visit to Hong Kong?

Vivian · Answer

You need a double-entry visa. Hong Kong, as a special administrative region, apply different exit and enter controls from Mainland China. In visa area, Hong Kong is regarded as a foreign country, once you enter Hong Kong then return to Mainland China, it is regared as a new entry. First entry: enter Beijing second entry: enter Shanghai from Hong Kong Canadians are exempt from a visa to Hong Kong for up to 90 days, so you don't need a visa to Hong Kong.
