Dean Hall Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Travel question: Once the fiance/spouse is issued a visa, can the chinese fiance / spouse travel to HK for the flight back to the US. Do they need to file in China for any special permits to go to HK. Any help appreciated, Dean Link to comment
tonado Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 She can travel to HK during the transit to US. There is no need for special permit. She can stay in HK up to 1 week. Link to comment
Guest blsqueaky Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Agree with Tony here, Ling is doing the same thing, and her best freind flew here late last year, also out of HK, just a nice bus or train ride from GZ, and a heck of a lot cheaper plane ticket. I buy one way, $1,100, she buy there, about $550 Link to comment
Dean Hall Posted February 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Thanks, guys - That's great news. I'm well aquainted with the bus service back and forth from HK airport. Since I have miles, I can then fly home with her for the price of a bus ticket. Great! Dean Link to comment
bobmal99 Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Have a great time in Hong Kong. One week is enough time to see most everything?? Link to comment
robhon Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 I've heard that it's a good idea for your fiance(e)/spouse to have a plane ticket or itinerary in their possession when entering HK. May not be needed but also not a bad idea. Link to comment

Any help appreciated, DeanWhen Jingwen exited the mainland, the K-1 visa was sufficient, but, upon entry into Hong Kong, she had to show her plane ticket as well. Don't know if this is the norm or not, but I've been told that the plane ticket must show a departure within seven days of entry into Hong Kong. Link to comment

May not be needed but also not a bad idea.I think the ticket is required showing a departure from HK in order to get there without a HK visa.That's actually what I meant even if I didn't adequately phrase it... Blah. It's been a busy month! Link to comment
Eric&Yuhui Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 I think the ticket is required showing a departure from HK in order to get there without a HK visa.That's actually what I meant even if I didn't adequately phrase it... Blah. It's been a busy month! That's correct. You MUST have an ongoing ticket when entering HK or you are asking for troubles.Yuhui just showed her ticket to Australia to get in HK... And the ticket to the US the second time around Link to comment

The reason I ask is almost all tickets are electronic, unless you pay extra. Link to comment
bobmal99 Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 I believe with an e-ticket, you can just print it out. That is your official copy/ticket!!! Link to comment
Bobby Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 United charges $20 USD to change a printed e-ticket into a paper ticket Link to comment

Dean Hall Posted February 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Well, fine. Forget Hong Kong. Now I am flying to GZ via Korea. Then (hopefully) two of us from GZ to Inchon Korea then to LAX, then on to Washington DC. Link to comment
