mom is visiting me in hk from the stateswe have booked for beijing.

Question

My mom is visiting me from the US while i study in HK. We have booked tickets to Beijing and back to HK for a thee day weekend. Originally I thought we could Use the 72 free period but I did not realize since the literature is rather vague you needed a separate country as your exit from China. Since I am in HK and can apply for an entry permit easily this is no problem. However my mother will need one and she will not be in HK long enough to obtain a visa before we leave for Beijing that I am aware of. How can she apply for a tourist L type from the states when just going to Beijing for 3 days? I am feeling like going to Beijing was a really bad idea since it is so complicated. Any advise would be appreciated.Thank you,Rose

Rose, as you said, she just stay for 3 days in Beijing, there is a way for her to avoid applying for a tourist L type. If she can travel like this HK-Beijing-Macau-HK, she can enjoy 72 hour free transit in Beijing. In this case, it can save the fee for tourist L type. Or she can provide her passport and its copy, the application form affixed with a passport-style photo, transportation and accommodation arrangements to apply for a tourist L type. After preparing the above-mentioned documents, she can submit her application to the embassy of PRC to apply for the L type.
