You never could really ‘buy’ a Z visa, had to have paperwork from company – means they generally need to end up paying taxes/gov’t on your behalf for social fees.. but I’m just not sure if the doc requirements in HK are different from local renewal, but..that being said, Ray, where did you pick up your F visa (where is Japan Travel?) and how much was it, 6month multiple or something else? Would be nice to have a backup plan 😀
