Getting a 12 month multiple entry visa in Hong Kong

Hi there,

I am a UK citizen and would like to apply for a 12 month multiple-entry permit for China in Hong Kong. I just wondered if this was possible as I have been told there is no 12 month multiple entry type for tourists anymore if you apply in the UK.

I have 8 China entry permits in my passport (one 12 month multiple, one 6 month multiple, six double entry ones) and really need another 12 month multiple entry permit.

I currently have a HK ID Card and now have an 11 month HK employment visa in my passport. I have several letters of support from Chinese citizens too.

Is this enough to get a 12 month multiple-entry permit, or is there any other ways of getting one?

Thanks in advance :)
