Have you also had such an experience：After finally receiving a work permit notification, I was informed that I needed to return to the Chinese Embassy in my home country to apply for a work visa. Faced with the fatigue of the upcoming journey and the high cost of plane tickets, I suddenly lost the motivation to take action.
你是否也有过这样的经历：在好不容易拿到工作许可通知后，被告知需要回到自己本国的中国大使馆办理工作签证。面对即将到来的旅途的劳累和高昂的机票费用，顿时没了行动的动力。
The Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, which had temporarily suspended the processing of various types of visas for foreigners due to epidemic prevention and control, has now resumed handling these applications. For foreign nationals already in China, applying for a Chinese visa in Hong Kong is a relatively efficient option.
中华人民共和国外交部驻香港特别行政区特派员公署原本因疫情防控而暂停审发的外国人各类赴华签证业务，现已重新恢复办理。对于已经入境中国的外国人士而言，赴港办理中国签证是相对而言较为高效的方式。
According to the document issued by the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, starting from September 1, 2021, all Chinese visa applicants are required to complete an online application form before applying for a visa. After completing the online application form and submitting it, the printed visa application form and confirmation page, signed by the applicant, should be submitted along with other application materials to the Chinese Visa Application Center in Hong Kong. Additionally, the applicant must be present to have their fingerprints collected.
根据中华人民共和国外交部驻香港特别行政区特派员公署发布的文件，自2021年9月1日起，所有中国签注申请人需先完成在线申请表填写后申请签证。通过网上在线填妥及提交申请表，再将打印生成的签注申请表和确认页，本人签字后与其他申请材料一并递交至香港中国签注申请中心，同时需本人到场并采集指纹。
Regarding the required application documents for obtaining a Chinese visa at the Chinese Visa Application Center in Hong Kong, this article will not delve into it extensively. Interested individuals can visit the official website of the Hong Kong Visa Application Center for further information. However, it is important to note that for visitors legally present in Hong Kong, the basic documentation for applying for a Chinese visa in Hong Kong includes proof of legal stay or residence (such as original and photocopies of valid proofs or visas for legal stay, residence, work, or study in Hong Kong). Additionally, for those applying for a work visa (Z visa), it is necessary to obtain the "Notification Letter of Foreigner's Work Permit" issued by the Foreign Expert Bureau.
对于在香港签证中心办理中国签证所需要的申请资料方面，本文章不多做阐述。感兴趣的朋友可以自行到香港签证中心官网查询。不过需要注意的是，对于合法入境香港的访客而言，合法停留或居留证明(如在港合法停留、居留、工作、学习的有效证明或有效签证的原件和复印件)是在香港申请中国签证的基本资料。另外，对于办理申办Z工作签证的，需要先获得外国专家局签发的《外国人来华工作许可通知》。

Generally, the processing time for visa applications is 4 working days. However, if time is of the essence, applicants can also apply for expedited services, including Rush Service (3 working days) and Express Service (2 working days). If an applicant wishes to include the same-day processing time, they need to visit the center before the scheduled time slot at 13:00.
一般来说，办理签证所需的时间为4个工作日，但如果时间紧急，还可以申请办理加急服务（3个工作日）和特急服务（2个工作日）。如果需要将当天办理的时间算入在内，则需要在预约13:00前时间段前去中心办理。
When applying for a Chinese visa at the Chinese Visa Application Center in Hong Kong, in addition to the visa fee (which varies for each country, please refer to the official website for payment methods and fee schedule), applicants are also required to pay a service fee to the visa center. The service fees are as follows: regular service fee HK$240, rush service fee HK$450, and express service fee HK$900. Payment can be made in cash or EPS.

Currently, many countries have visa-free entry to Hong Kong, with different countries having different lengths of permissible stay. Therefore, it is important for individuals to plan their schedule accordingly and apply for a work visa within the allowed duration of stay.
Wishing everyone a smooth visa application process!
目前很多国家入境香港都是免签，不同的国家合法免签停留的时间不同，这就需要大家根据自身情况，合理安排时间，在规定的有效停留时间里办理好工作签证。
祝大家签证顺利!
