1 more up-date + 1 more question to the HK SAR Government

http://www.asianews.it/index.php?l=en&art=13280&geo=6&size=A
But also one question here: Why the HK SAR Government cannot speed up this process ?
You guys always talking a lot - why not in this case ?
Why do we all have to wait almost another 4 weeks until this nonsense is finished ?

Here some more news on this:
Hong Kong China visa curbs "to go next month"
Reuters, Monday September 22 2008
HONG KONG, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Visa curbs on foreigners travelling into China via Hong Kong as part of a security clampdown during the Beijing Olympics will be lifted in October, a major travel industry association said on Monday.
Hong Kong, a gateway to China for foreign businessmen given the convenience of shuttling across the border on swiftly obtained China visas, was hit by tightened rules amid increased security months before the Games began in August.
Foreigners from dozens of countries travelling to China from Hong Kong were barred from obtaining visas in Hong Kong, having to apply in their home countries instead -- measures which were widely criticised by business groups as costly and cumbersome.
The issue of popular multiple and double-entry visas was also curtailed during the Games.
"Things will resume back to normal, like before the Olympics," said Paul Leung, president of the Hong Kong Inbound Travel Association, citing discussions he'd had with Chinese tourism officials. He put the date at Oct. 16.
Leung added a popular "144-hour" visa would again be issued in Hong Kong for groups of at least three foreigners into China's manufacturing heartland of Guangdong, where many businessmen run factories and offices and attend trade fairs.
"These past two months have been very quiet because a lot of visitors didn't bother coming, so now that things are opening up again it will be good for all parties concerned," Leung added.
CHEERS !

Jiang Yu: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I have an announcement to make.
Now the floor is open for your questions.
Q: Our Foreign Ministry in Singapore has received a notice about how China will reinstate the visa waiver for Singapore passport holders for a period of 15 days or less? I'd like to ask whether all the visa restrictions imposed during the Olympics have been lifted and China's visa policy has come back to pre-Olympic period?
A: As you just said, as of the zero hours of September 19, China will resume the visa waiver for Singapore passport holders who travel to China for business, sightseeing, visit or transit for 15 days or less. China's visa policy will continue to serve national interest and facilitate China-foreign exchanges in the wake of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. We will continue to pursue opening-up policy and proactively facilitate the beneficial and orderly exchanges between Chinese and foreigners. For specific requirements for visa application, please refer to visa-issuing authorities where you apply.
(On September 18, 2008, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Jiang Yu held a regular press conference and answered questions on the second "Summer Davos", China's visa policy after the Olympics...............)

The "Art" of misleading the People.....
very well developed by officials in China.
Main response on critical questions ...."please refer to the relevant department".
Please be reminded we are in the year 2008 not in 1978 anymore. Want to play a global role ?
Better adjust the way of communication.
A frequent reader has forwarded some communication between the Foreign Ministry of the PRC in HK about the recent changes (stating that HK perm residents w foreign passports can obtain a 1 - 3 year multiple F-Visa by supplying original HK ID + copy) on their webpage regarding "CHINA VISA" requirements: Always good for a joke...........

According to your webpage as a HK permanent resident
I can apply for China multiple F visa for 1 or 2 years with copy of my HK ID card + original +
passport. Please confirm clear as I soon need a new
China Visa.
Here the answer:
Please refer the following info to get prepared if you need to apply for multiple F visa , 1. Valid passport (at least six months before expiration) with blank visa pages.
2. Completed Chinese visa application form, one passport color photograph taken in the last six months. False information or failing to complete the application form will cause rejection or delays of your application.
3 Visa Notification Form issued by authorized Foreign Affairs Office or Bureau of Commerce(original),;
4 A copy of Chinese hotel booking;
5 A copy of return flight ticket booking;
6. Hong Kong Permanent ID card (original and photocopy)
7. other supporting documentation, e.g. Registration Certificate of your company in China, etc Multiple-entry visa is issued at the discretion of the consular officers.
OOOPS - but the info on the webpage is somewhat different....here the follow up after asking why then this info on the webpage is saying different:
"This is additional requirement" !
