Do I need a Visa if I visit China for a single day? I am a US citizen living in Hong Kong for 3 months?

Question

I am a US citizen living in Hong Kong for 3 months. Also, I might get a Hong Kong visa to extend my stay. I understand that I can stay in HK for 90 days without a visa but if I do obtain one then will the visa also permit me to go to mainland China?

Answer 1

Yes, You need a visa to enter Mainland China for one day.

Answer 2

You need the visa.

Visa is waived by certain countries for USC. China is not one of them.

Answer 3

Visa is needed by a US citizen to visit China even for only one day because it is required by their Immigration Law.
