Asked by Brenda from USA | Apr. 22, 2015 15:23
About:China Visa Entries / Validity / Duration of Stay

Are two separate visas needed for a cruise tour of Hong Kong and Xiamen?

I checked the USA embassy's website to download the applications and noticed four forms are listed: two mentioning application form and application for entry/transit in Hong Kong.

My group's first stop in mainland China will be Hong Kong then Xiamen the very next day. Also, 3 travelers in our group have previously obtained Chinese ones for a different cruise tour in the past few years. Will this have any bearing on having to obtain another one for this this trip?

Hi Brenda, the entry permit for Hong Kong is different from that for mainland. However, as you have US passport, you do not need the entry permit for Hong Kong as long as your stay there does not exceed 90 days. So you just need to apply an entry permit for mainland.

Having obtained Chinese mainland entry permits in the past will not hinder them from the application, but the consular officer may ask them to submit copies of the previous entry permits.
