Can I apply for a student visa to the USA in Hong Kong but I'm an Australian?
Can I apply for a student visa to the USA in Hong Kong but I'm an Australian?
I have an Australian passport but I am staying in Hong Kong in August till September, can I apply for a student visa over there? Would the US consulate in HK still issue visas to citizens of countries that are "different" from the country that their consulate is situated in? Also, since I'm born in Hong Kong but I have immigrated to Australia, is my Australian passport enough evidence to prove that I'm an Australian?

Well if you want to be a student there I am guessing that you are in an organization that situates students in different countries. I would guess you would have to talk with your organization or your countries travel agency.

pull out a map and you will see hong kong is composed of the hong kong island and kowloon penisular. it would be more convenient to stay in wanchai / causeway bay region if you prefer the hongkong side, or the stretch along nathan road from tsimshatsui to mongkok for the kowloon side. in both cases, you will find shopping, drinking, eateries around, plus served by the mtr (underground train). but of course, that comes with a price on the accomodation. if the hotels are right at the mtr stations exits, the room rates will be higher. maybe cheaper if happens to be in between two stations, cheaper if on the third road or fourth road from the main road, etc. you know what i mean.

Here is site with a brief overview of Hong kong's shopping, entertainment, hotel, transportation information: http://www.chinatravel.net/china-destinations/hong-kong/cityintroduction-72.html You should be able to see something useful. Also, you may arrange your hotel and flight deals through Ctrip.

I always stay at either Mirador Mansions or Chungking Mansions on Nathan Road in Kowloon. Right in the heart of a busy shopping district, with the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station on your doorstep. There are a ton of cheap and affordable guest houses to choose from in those buildings and is where many, if not most, foreign backpackers stay.

I am doing a study-abroad in Hong Kong China and have secured a student visa, however, I am also planning on touring mainland China once the school semester is over. Will I need a different visa to enter mainland china or will my student visa work?

yes, a different visa... your student visa to HK does not cover mainland China...
2 :
Hong Kong and China work on different visas. You will need to apply for a Chinese tourist visa. You can usually get them for up to 3 months, although this does depend where you are from. You can apply direct at the Embassy, or get a travel agent to do it for you they charge a small commission but it saves you queueing at the Embassy all day! :-)

You need to apply for a tourism "L" visa to enter China. When in Hong Kong, you may apply for your Chinese visa at the China Resources Building in Wan Chai. Normal processing is a few days, but overnight service is available for an additional fee.

yes, a different visa... your student visa to HK does not cover mainland China... Source(s): . Chinese = a language family... Mandarin = the official modern spoken lanuage of China... Mandarin = subset of Chinese... Cantonese = subset of Chinese... Taiwanese = subset of Chinese... --> that is rubbish written by a queer girl
