Question

Need I apply for this within mainland China somewhere? Or should I go to Hong Kong to apply and wait for, and collect the new visa?RegardsTom

Tom, you can try to apply for it by converting the X type to F type at the exit and entry administration of the local PSB within PRC. But if it cannot be done, you need to exit and apply for it in your home country because if you don’t have HK residence permit, it’s not easy for you to apply from there.
