Must I return to NZ to obtain a new F?

My NZ company has a 2 year contract with a school in China to train teachers and establish a literacy programme. Last year I obtained a 1 year multi entry F from HK but this is no longer available. Must I return to NZ to obtain a new F? How long would I be required to stay in NZ for it to be issued? Is the three year F available now? I have a NZ passport but my first one was issued in Istanbul as I was working there and subsequent ones issued in Suzhou where I worked.

Hi, I don't think any 3 year F or any other type is available. But it is true that you can not able to get a new F in HK if you are not a HK resident. So, go back to apply in NZ is the best option. Normal process takes 4 working days. Same day urgent process is only available if the consular officer agrees at the time the application is lodged and you pay extra service fee for it.
