Another China visa question

Hello here to ask the same question as millions of others I’m sure!!

Is it possible for UK passport holders to get multi entry visas from Hong Kong?
If we get a 60 days double entry is it possible to do them in 2 30 day chunks? I know you have to leave after 30 days so is it possible to go somewhere else then come back to go to North Korea? Or does this count as 3 entries?
In a perfect world we could swan in and get a 10 year visa but I get the feeling that’s pie in the sky!!

I don't know if 2 yr visas are standard or not for UK passport holders. But I am glad In NZ, you don't have to jump through hoops going to VACSs.

They are but my worry is getting them when we’re not in the UK. Will Hong Kong issue then as standard same as an embassy would?

i don't recall ever coming across any good news on that issue. Strongly suggest getting the two-year multiple-entry visa with a 90-day stay per entry, readily available to Britons in Britain. It will simplify your time in China enormously.

Already been out of the country for 7 months. Hong Kong is our only option

Contact Forever Bright (an independent reputable agent in HK) and see if UK citizens are being granted the 2-year multiple entry visa right now. http://www.fbt-chinavisa.com.hk/

If you can only get a single- or double-entry visa in HK, then a solution is to deal with any other entry by using Transit Without Visa....but you have to structure your flights in/out of the country to fit within the TWOV limitations. We can illustrate how this might work for you if we knew what your plans were.
