Apply Visa in Hong Kong
I am a citizen of India and I currently reside in Guangzhou on an F Visa valid for 1 year, my employer has already applied for my Z visa but it is still under process.
My employer wants to send me on a business trip to South America and most if not all countries require me to get a visa prior to my arrival. Can I apply for a visa in Hong Kong if I don't have a Hong Kong ID card?
Whenever you apply for a visa the consulate/embassy webpage tells you to apply at the nearest location to your city and since I live in Guangzhou, that is Hong Kong. However, I have heard people have been refused visas in Hong Kong because they don't hold ID cards.
If that is the case what is the solution? Do I apply at a location in mainland China? Will they allow me since I don't hold a Z visa?
It is not an option for me to go back to India as my employer feels that will waste too much time.
Please offer me your solution, I will be visiting most countries in South America
