Hey all,
I'm heading to China, and at some point I'd like to stop by Hong Kong in my travels. Can anyone tell me if this requires a different sort of visa, separate visas, or if it all counts in the normal Chinese one? Thanks! |

If you are going from mainland China to HongKong then you have no trouble. You get a 90 day visa waiver stamp on arrival.
If you plan to return through mainland China then you will have a problem. Your tourist visa for the mainland is probably only single entry. When you go to HK you will leave mainland China and will need another Chinese Visa to enter / re-enter mainland China again.
The HongKong SAR is treated as a separate country from mainland China for travel and diplomatic purposes. The same is true for Macau SAR. |

Thanks guys, that's what I needed to know.
Does anyone know what the difference in pricing is for a single entry and in/out Chinese visa is? |

The cost is 35,000 won for a single entry visa. Express is 35,000 won + 24,000 won. Urgent is 35,000 + 35,000. Normal application takes 4 days, express takes 2 days, urgent application is processed on the same day and you can get your visa the day you apply for it. |

I am not aware that they have a multi entry visa for tourists.
Just know that if you leave mainland china to go to HK you will need to get a new visa to re-enter mainland china. |
