About:Chinese Consulate in Vancouver

Traveling to China, Hong Kong and Macau from Canada

Hi, I hold a Canadian Passport, HKSAR Passport, HK ID Card, and Home Return Permit and I am going to travel to Beijing from Vancouver for 1 week. Then I will fly to Hong Kong then to Macau. I might also visit Zhuhai from Macau if time permits. Then I will fly back to Vancouver from Hong Kong, connecting at the Beijing Airport. I have the following questions:

1. What type of travel document(s) do I need to apply if I am entering Mainland China using my Canadian Passport (or HKSAR Passport)?

2. Can I use my Home Return Permit if I am going to Zhuhai from Macau, despite the fact that I already applied for the travel document for traveling Beijing?

3. Do I need to apply a travel document going back to Vancouver from Hong Kong even though I am only connecting my flight at the Beijing airport?

4. My friend will be traveling the same places with me however she only holds a Canadian Passport. What type of travel document(s) does she need?

Thank you so much in advance.

Hi, the answer to Question 1 to 3 is: since you have the HKSAR Passport, HK ID Card, and Home Return Permit , your trip (Vancouver-Beijing-HK-Macau-Zhuhai-HK-Beijing-Vancouver) needs no other travel document. You are very lucky!

Your friend needs no visa to HK and Macao, but she needs a multi-entry visa to Mainland China.

Good luck!

Thanks for your reply Melissa.

1. If I don't need to apply for a visa entering China from Vancouver and Hong Kong, I assume I'll have to show my HKSAR passport at the Chinese Custom, correct?

2. Also, I can use my Home Return Permit if I go to Zhuhai from Macau right?

Thank you in advance.
