I just got words from the Malaysia Association in regard to malaysian going into China via the Hong Kong route.
“The following information applies to your friends from Malaysia, family members who plan to visit HK and wants to hop over to Shenzhen for a day visit etc.
As of 01st April 2008, China visas were no longer being issued at border crossing points for travel to Shenzhen or any other airports in China.
Next, the recent ruling affect nationals of 33 countries which includes malaysia. Malaysian traveler would no longer be able to obtain visa at the visa office at the China Resources Building, Wanchai, HKSAR, unless they are residents i.e. possess of HKID.
Therefore, please suggest to your friends and family members to apply for their visa in advance in Malaysia prior to arriving HKSAR should they wish to hop over to China for a short visit.. ” from Judi Chew – Chairperson of MAHK.
In other words, all China visas will be issued at the point of origin country of the traveler. I don’t know how long this ruling will be in place but just be aware about this ruling. This is sort of my public advisory to malaysian.
