Lucy · Answer

Chung, as you are holding the Mainland Travel Document for Hong Kong/Macau Residents, you don't need to apply for the entry permit.

Thank you

Chung · Answer

Been told differently. If the departing point is Hong Kong then I don't need visa. Since I flying to Beijing from London, then I need to apply. How inconvenient. Thanks for your reply Lucy.
