I am living in HK and want to apply for a 1 year multiple entry Chinese Visa. All the information says that I can only get a 6 month visa unless I have previously been issued another Chinese visa. I have an old Chinese tourstvisa, but it is in an old passport. Does anyone know if I can use this old visa, as a basis for getting a 1 year multiple entry, as opposed to a 6 month.
Or would a Shenzen border visa count as a previous visa?
I have a New Zealand Passport.
