I have a question regarding the Hong Kong Special Entry Permit/Visa. Hopefully you can help me on that.
Here’s my situation:
I am a Chinese passport holder (H-1B Visa) and I will have a business trip back to China.
My scheduled flight is like this: Minneapolis -> Tokyo -> Hong Kong -> Shanghai; And the trip back to U.S. is Shanghai -> Tokyo -> Minneapolis.
However, before I fly to Shanghai, I will have to stay in Hong Kong for seven days and will probably travel to Shenzhen each day in the morning and back to Hong Kong at night. Do I need to apply for the special entry permit? If I do need, what's the detailed process for that?
I got the following information from www.immd.gov.hk website but I'm not sure how to interpret it.
