Another question, is it possible to apply and get the permit on the same day, express?
I know that at the end of the year and near the Chinese New Year, it will be a long queue.
No. Expedited Delivery is 5 business days. Normal Delivery is 12 Business Days. Note Business Days means Monday - Friday excluding Public Holidays.

So it really depends on how long you are planning to stay at HK before going to China. If you do that, book an appointment on the day you landed HK, or next day. I made appointment the next day morning after I landed, to take into account any possible flight delays.
