Filipino citizen

Hi, My domestic helper who would also accompany me was living in Hong Kong as a DH 2 yrs ago, she is from Philippines, does she still need one? or can she get it on arrival even if she was living there as a DH and has an expired ID card from Hong Kong.

Also, the last time i went to the Chinese embassy for a visa to China, they did not accept my application for no reason. do you think that has changed? i am holding a Pakistani passport and would like to visit Hong Kong in June, can i go and apply at the Chinese embassy directly on Khaleej Al Arabi street or have you outsourced it to someone??

please advise.
