Previously had resident permit when spouse was working on mainland but now I will just have a tourist L type traveling from US. If I can get a 2 month duration on a multi-entry, what will I have to do to leave and re-enter? Will it suffice to travel to Hong Kong? Or since I will be leaving from mainland will I need an entry permit to enter Hong Kong? Or will US resident take precedent and I will not need an entry permit to HK? Is there a limit on how many re-entries you can have on a multi-entry? I may use China as a base to travel back and forth to other asian countries.

Laura, you can stay for 2 months and exit to HK when the stay duration runs out. Because you are American passport holder, you can enjoy free entry to HK for a stay of no more than 90 days. In general, there is no requirement for how many re-entries you can have on a multiple-entry type, but you shouldn’t exit and re-enter frequently, or you may be doubted and interrogated when passing through the frontier inspection.

Thanks For your reply Phil. For exit and reentry after 2 months, Do you know if just one night stay in HK Is sufficient or even same day exit and reentry such as day trip from Shenzen into HK and back?

Laura, you can do that. It’s okay.
