Q: Express Service fees for chinese visa in Hong kong
Hi guys
my friend got every require docs for z visa. next week he will go to hong kong to apply for work visa.he wants to apply for express service.
can anyone tell me how many days it will take by express service and HOW MUCH FEES FOR EXPRESS SERVICE.
i am looking forward to hear from you.
thank you very much.
10 years 48 weeks ago in Visa & Legalities - China
Last year, express service was '24h'. Look for updated info on Chinese Embassy website:
http://www.fmcoprc.gov.hk/eng/zgqz/syjy/
Processing time of application
1. Regular service: 4 working days including submission day (e.g. Submission on Monday and collection on Thursday)
2. Express service: 3working days including submission day (e.g. Submission on Monday and collection on Wednesday
3. Rush service: 2 working day (including the submission day. e.g. If visa application is submitted on the morning of Monday, collection time is on the morning of Tuesday; If visa application is submitted on the afternoon of Monday, collection time is on the afternoon of Tuesday)
Also note that express and rush services are not available to all nationalities, and sometimes (most of the time now) are not available at all.
I strongly suggest that your friend gets ready to spend 4 days no matter what and hope he or she does not need to.

Yup some nationalities have no express service option.
A French colleague had to go to HK to do a Z-Visa and it was a 4-day service timeframe with no express service available.
500 HKD and less than 24 hours. They will give you a time to pick up next day. Did it the start of September.
Also, if he/she is getting RP and FEC after that (has to be done 30 days later), enquire if you can get the Z visa for 1 month by ticking the 'Other' box and saying 1 month. The other options are 3, 6 and 12 months. Maybe it will work out less expensive for that 1 month instead of say 3.
as far as i know they dont have express service anylonger.
i was there (german) and they said doesnt exist anymore at least not officially, so maybe another agency can bribe under the table.
and my nationality usually has only advantages
Apologies rush service is 300 HKD, my 3 month Z visa was another 200 HKD (September 2013 info)
Rush service is not express service meaning next day service. Like dom87 wrote, that kind of service is gone with the wind.
