China D visa
Hi dears,
My wife have Hong Kong nationality and we've got married in Hong Kong for many years already.
My daughter also have Hong Kong permanent HKID card and passport.
They both have a pink card called "港澳居民来往内地通行证" issued in Honk Kong that allow them to go and live in China.
We all live together in china at the moment.
I have French nationality and also a non-permanent hong kong ID card and I saw on the website of CTSHK that I could apparently apply for a D visa. I have all the requirements described on their page, see below:
"D. Multi-entries visa application
6 to 12 months multi-entries visa
Hong Kong Identity Card holders (including permanent or non-permanent), who have valid residence for 7 months or above in Hong Kong and also have China Visa use record, are valid for applying 6 to 12 months multi-entries visa."
I've tried to contact them but unsuccessfully at the moment.
It is difficult to find clear information on the net. I think what they describe is different than what is defined as precisely a China D visa which is a "permanent resident permit".
Their description doesn't look like a permanent resident permit as it is only for 6 to 12 months. And I already saw your answers explaining that China is not an immigrant country and D visa is almost impossible to get.
So I wonder, is the visa they describe got a more precise name than D visa?
Do you think it is possible for me to apply for this kind of visa as I match all requirements?
Note that I'm not looking for permanent resident permit.
6 to 12 months will be enough for me. All the other usual types of visas are getting really difficult to get, that is why I'm trying to clarify this option. I do not need other visa types suggestion which I know quite well.
Thanks for reading me and keep on the great job, your website is amazing!
Greg.

- As I know, the Chinese mainland D type is issued to those who intend to reside in China permanently, and you are correct that it's rather difficult to get the D type visa. The website of CTSHK might refer to the Chinese (permanent) residence permit, I suppose.
