I am a British citizen currently preparing to travel to Hong Kong to apply for my Z visa so I can teach English in China. I have all the required documents and only need to travel to the embassy in Hong Kong to apply. However, I have heard that some people are being rejected visas from the Chinese embassy in Hong Kong possibly due to the Olympic games. This message has also appeared on the Hong Kong Chinese Embassy web site: "NOTICE (2008/04/13) Visa applicants are increasing in a large number and need longer waiting time in the visa office recently. If you don't reside or work in Hong Kong permanently, you are required to apply Chinese visa from the Embassy or Consulate-General of Peoples' Republic of China in your resident country. You are welcome to China for tourism, business, visit of the Olympic Games." Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Visas were available same day service, now it is next day service. I have heard of no one being rejected. Of course it changes here without notice recently. Also, I must add that this applies to Americans. I know British and Canadians can get one day visa service in Macau, but it isn't clear about Hong Kong. Americans can't get a visa in Macau.

You don't need a visa to HK. You can just use your passport and stay in HK for 30 days
