I just went to HKG and China. I obtained a double entry L visa before I left - my plan was to go to HKG, then from there to PEK, then back to HKG, then to Cheng-du. Once I was there and learned a little more, I decided I wanted to check out Shenzen. The problem was that I only had a 2-entry visa and I'd already used 1 entry for PEK and needed to use the other for Cheng-du. In the future, what's the best way to deal with this? Can I apply for 2 visas at once e.g. 1 single entry visa and 1 double entry visa, or even 2 double-entry visas? Is it best to get a 2-entry visa from here and then request another 1- or 2-entry visa in HKG? Is there some sort of limit on how many L visits one can make in a 3, 6, or 12-month period? The rules seem to say that multiple-entry L visas are only available if you're related to a Chinese citizen or if you have real estate in China - anyone know/heard differently?
Also, does anyone know anything about G (transit) visas? Would I be able, for instance, to get a G visa and a 2-entry L visa, fly through and stop in PEK for a few days on the way to HKG (using the G visa), and then use the L visa for 2 other visits? Also, is a G visa only single use? For instance, could I get a G visa and use it once to stop in PEK on the way to HKG and another time to stop in PEK on the way back from PEK?
