    shenzhen and mainland visa questions



    posted this in a differnet section of the forums but didn't get a response, so tryign this section.

    I thought I read somewhere that they were going to make multiple entry visas to mainland more available (not just restricted to business and family) I was pointed to this site:
    http://www.fmcoprc.gov.hk
    but there's no English in it. Otherwise a dual entry tourist visa is the best deal i can get?

    Also I've seen the visa fees vary, "application fee HK$150 for 1 entry HK$220 for 2 entries" (from a site in HK) and sites in the US/UK have the price charge by the local Chinese embassy/consulate $50 USD for a single and $75 USD for a double, also seeing sometimes separate rates for Americans, British, and ‘other’ citizens. So as a
    US citizen, if I apply for a visa in HK to enter mainland china how much can I expect to pay?


    also I guess I would be more interedsted in visiting shenzen multple times rather than going all the way into "mainland" china multiple times if that changes anything

    A single entry visa for US passport holders is HK$450. Not idea how much a multiple entry visa is. I just got a multiple 3 year visa (British Passport) for $850.
    Best to email the China Travel Service for more info.
