Vinny Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Hi all, My Fiancee recently passed and got her Visa. We want to know if we go to Hong Kong to take our Flight to USA, does she have to fill out paper work to get a Visa to cross into Hong Kong? Also, does she have to immediately fly to US or can we stay in HK for like a week or so? ThanksVinny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksVinny Remember reading in another post that if you have a visa and ticket to fly to the US you do not need a permit to enter HK. Not sure if you need permit to spend time there but those are pretty easy to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmaniac Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 We did this. My wife had already used up her entrance to HK a few months before. We took a private van over the border. The Chinese side had no issue with her crossing. The HK side looked at her US Visa and the E-Tickets. The HK customs official in the booth couldn't make the decision himself so someone came out and got us and brought us into an interview room for about 20 minutes or so. They asked a couple of brief questions, were satisfied with the US visa and E Tickets and let us through. Most of the others being interviewed were pregnant women since HK doesn't want mainlanders coming and having babies there. A week seems reasonable to me, but hard to say. We were just staying the night at the airport hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4Racer Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) Hi all, My Fiancee recently passed and got her Visa. We want to know if we go to Hong Kong to take our Flight to USA, does she have to fill out paper work to get a Visa to cross into Hong Kong? Also, does she have to immediately fly to US or can we stay in HK for like a week or so? ThanksVinny Piece of cake. No paperwork needed. Chinese Mainland citizens holding foreign visa and tickets from/to Hong Kong International are allowed to enter and stay for up to 7 days each way without a Hong Kong visa or entry permit. US Citizens are allowed up to 30 days without visa. US Greencard holders must follow rules from country of their passport. So in the case of our spouses, this is 7 days. We did this back in 2007. This made the trip much more enjoyable than going through Guangzhou. Domestic flights to Nanning were easy as there is shuttle service to/from Shenzen Airport. We only spent the night, but still a very interesting place. Would like to go back sometime and spend a few more days.
