1. Foreigners with Hong Kong permanent resident status
(1) Foreigners with Hong Kong permanent resident status can apply for "L" or "F" multiple visa valid for one to three years by providing personal Hong Kong Permanent Identification Card, as well as a copy of the said ID card.
unqoute
Now foreigners with permanent HK ID card are also close to being a threat to the "environment" in China. Thank you for putting us into this corner. This is all not very smart and clever politics.
So now we still urgently need to know how & where + with what we can get the famous "Visa Notification Letter".
But - is this letter really a guarantee to get a multiple entry F visa issued as everything is depending on the "discretion" of the visa officer.
