I dont know about the official rules, but from what Ive heard there is no one year business visas given out in HK to anyone.

how about 6 months?

I can talk to somebody and inquire if Philipino people are given in HK the Business Visa. I believe it's possible but just confirm it tomorow. Then I will let you know if my link can help you get the one year business visa.

it depends on what country you are from some countries they will process others they will tell you go back to your home country

So, I had this mostly angry talk with my agent regarding your need for 1 year Business Visa. All in all she didn't even bother to explain me why isn't it possible. She said: "We cannot help the philippinal teacher with their visas in Honkong, sorry" . Of course it's a quoted message and this is what she wrote in her English. 

I asked: "Why not?"

She replied: because of the policy

I asked: "what if that contact yours helps him to get the Visa (1 year Business Visa).? Is it because he is a Philippino that he cannot get the Visa in Hong Kong? What policy do you refer to?  Please let me know.

She replied: "We can't help philippinos, sorry"

I asked: Why? Please give me a reasonable answer so I can pass it to the guy. Is it the law or what else it could be?

She replied: u don't need to explain to him cause he must know the reason better than you. It's about international relationship

I replied: There are Philippino teachers here in China, how do they get the Visa> Or is that they can get only the Working Visa from Philippines? And of course I need to explain him because he needs a replying from me. Please let me know. 

She replied: The government just refuse the application without explanations. That's all I can tell u"  

In my opinion, it looks that the only Visa possible to get  is the Working Visa. But I still can ask another person about that. 

I was really pissed off about how little support my agent gave me. Let me talk to somebody else and I will post the replying on this thread. 

Thanks jeaniacob. I really appreciate your help. maybe we should really start packing up.

I inquired again somebody else. Definitely it is not possible at least as told by a friend. I asked for official records, statements in Chinese thinking to send to translation to a friend. It's not possible either. I wish I had an official source regarding those immigration issues. I am sorry I could not be of real help. Why would you consider packing up? 

As I know that Filipino is very difficult to get a long term visa in China now. The policemen won't approve. But one of my friend who work in a visa agent in Guangzhou , he said he can do the one year Z visa for Filipinos.
