does my son (holding australian passport) need to apply visa to enter china?

Question

My son is 4 years old, solely holding an Australian passport.   I am HKSAR resident and also have a HKSAR passport.  We plan to spend a week in China in mid April 2015.  His Australian passport will be expired in early Oct 2015, so it has less than 6 months validity.  Does he need to have a passport validity more than 6 months as well?  Does he need an entry permit for himself for entry China?

Jay · Answer

Gigi, your son should apply for the entry permit. If he has a Chinese passport previously, it should be submitted to the embassy together with the application documents. As a general rule, when you are applying for the China entry permit, the remaining validity of the passport should be no less than six months, so you should first renew the passport and then apply for the entry permit.
