You can leave from your outreach location straight back to home, unless your flight arrangement requires you to fly from HK. Sorry but we won’t be able to accommodate your team if you have to come back to HK after outreach. You will have to find your own accommodations while in HK unless some special arrangements are made with your own contacts here before you leave on outreach.

Yes you’ll need a different visa for China or for Macau. HK is a Special Administrative Region therefore it has its own immigration regulations. Most of western countries can get a tourist visa as they enter HK. So check if you need a visa to enter HK. We strongly suggest that you get your China or Macau visa before you come to HK. However, if you run out of time or as a back-up, it is possible to do it from HK. Please check with any Chinese Embassy or Institution of your country to know the visa procedures ASAP.

We’ll have someone wait for you at the airport and arrange for you to get to the Camp facilities. But it is nessecary to tell your flight schedule to us in advance.
