On my way back to New Zealand from England, I changed planes in Hong Kong. Can I apply for a visa to visit China or visit relatives at Hongkong Airport?

When New Zealand citizens apply for Chinese visas, they need to know that Chinese visas are the permits issued by Chinese visa authorities (China's embassies and consulates abroad and overseas institutions authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) to foreigners to enter, leave or transit China according to domestic laws and regulations. Chinese visa authorities issue diplomatic visas, courtesy visas, official visas or ordinary visas according to the identity of foreigners, the purpose of coming to China and the types of passports. Ordinary visas are divided into eight categories, coded with Chinese phonetic alphabet (C, D, F, G, J- 1, J-2, L, X, Z). Foreigners entering, leaving and transiting China must hold valid visas, except those exempted from visas according to bilateral agreements or relevant regulations of China. At present, New Zealand citizens can enter China, Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions visa-free for up to 3 months; However, you still need a visa to go to Chinese mainland. Citizens of the following 20 countries, regardless of their passports, can be exempted from visas when crossing SNH48 for several hours: North Korea, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, as well as other Schengen countries such as Germany, France, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Italy. You can apply for a visit endorsement at the the State Council office in Hongkong. Passport, notarial certificate of kinship and invitation letter from relatives are needed.
