Just back from border city of Hekou(China) and Lao Cai(Vietnam)
Confirm with China immigration that they do not issue visa on arrival all over China with the except at Hong Kong
The visa for a 45 days multiple crossing applied strictly only to the local resident>Lao Cai(Vietnam) and Hekou(China) resident only.
Immigration operating hours from 0800am to 2000 hours at this border crossing ,Hekou/Lao Cai>> note that also subject to time zone difference.
The China immigration currently is under going renovation with temporary container office for daily use.
White embarkment card in not required at Vietnam side.
The China side need to fill up the simple card per entry and another card upon exit.
Hekou and Lao Cai is separate by a short bridge(about 50 meter) within walking distance,not required to take any form of transportation

Maybe someone can answer this one:
I am travelling through China.
And I am using the last entry of my visa (I applied and got 2, but I went out to southeast asia countries, and then got back into China again).
My flight home leaves from Beijing.
I want to go to Hong Kong (I don't need a visa for HK).
When in HK,
do I need to apply for a new visa for China to go back to Beijing, or my visa is still valid?
Have I "burned out" my last entrance when I got into HK, or I am "still in China itself" somehow?
This thing of HK has me puzzled...
Thanks if anyone know the ansewer.
Fabian.

It used to be the case that you wouldn't be allowed back on your two entry visa. Recently, however, there have been changes to the visa policy allowing foreigners (from certain countries) en route somewhere else to have up to 72 hours in the country without a visa to facilitate business and what not. So you may be able to take advantage of this if you are only go to fly out and already have a ticket, but just do some due diligence.
