China Permanent Travel Card

I need to help my daughter get a China travel card. I've been really lazy about the whole thing and waited till now, she's almost 18-months old. My husband is bugging me about it as he wants to take us all to Beijing. I don't read Chinese...can anyone help me? My daughter was born in HK and has a British passport. My husband and I are both Chinese...

What do I need to do? I need to get one as well...sigh.

Home Return Permit

I think you're talking about a "home return permit"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Return_Permit

You might want to consider *not* getting one and just getting a travel visa for your child on his or her British passport, because home return permits are considered as proof of PRC citizenship.

If you still want to apply for one - here's a link (but in Chinese)

i would recommend getting it as it makes going through the customs a LOT easier. not sure about home return permits as proof of PRC citizenship, i just view it as my entry permit back into HK.

i couldn't see it on the website but you might need HKID card for bub before getting a home return permit? pretty sure you cannot get a home return permit using a British passport.
