China Travel Permit Delays

[Zelensky2]

Received my delay email yesterday for a collection that was supposed to be tomorrow:

Caucasian
Many prior visas (Got up to a 5yr visa many years ago)

So I have applied to change my nationality from Chinese to British (as this was erroneous in the first place) and now I’ve got a notice through, after sending in the form for thanking me informing them of the change. But it doesn’t mention which change was actioned. Is there any way to check or I should just request the Access to information letter again regardless? Thanks all

yeah you need to apply for the form again so just do it asap. as you will need to present the original at your appt too

It says at immd website “ After the application for declaration of change of nationality has been approved, the applicant will be issued with a letter confirming the registration of the change. He/She will no longer be a Chinese national and will have to surrender his/her Chinese passport or HKSAR passport or certificate of naturalisation as a Chinese national (if any) for cancellation.”

The letter you got may be just an acknowledgement of application, if it doesn't spell out the change in nationality. You probably have to wait for another letter to arrive.

Have a friend who applied for a child. One of the scanned docs wasn't clear and they called several times to ask her to come in again which she missed. Anyway, they went in to collect this weekend only to find out their application needs to go back in the Q and will be ready end of Oct.

mom finally got the email yesterday.

total delay 6 weeks

After almost 6 weeks delay I called them this morning. Got through on only the very last number at the bottom of this page > https://www.ctshk.com/mep/zh/non-chinese_firstpage/

The woman couldn't speak much English, but she asked for my number so someone else could call me back. I didn't receive a call, but lo & behold, only 45 min after I called them I got the email saying it's ready for collection.

They either forgot to inform me (and maybe many other long delayed people) or this was just one huge coincidence. I'm going with the former. So it might be worthwhile to call them on 3460 3267 if you have been waiting long like me.
