I came to China in March on a double entry L visa and failed to leave within 3 months, i overstayed by something like 80 days. Consequently I was fined 5000RMB. I have paid that and been given a replacement visa, which asks me to leave China within 10 days. I was told at the entry/exit office in my city that my name has not been blacklisted. Also, they told me that going to HK will class as having left China, I don't need to return to the UK. Can anyone give me some idea of my chances of obtaining a new visa if I go to HK? Will it be any trouble, will it be impossibe? Just, how can I return immediately to China or do I have to go home?
Much appreciated
