What are the steps to obtain a SETV from the Hong Kong consulate for Australians?

For members information.. SETV from Hong Kong consulate

I am an Australian (retired) and just collected the SETV.

Documents provided...completed application, signed copy of passport page, signed copy of arrival card/entry slip into HK (all in blue pen..read that somewhere) and passport photo.

All was in order EXCEPT, the photo was rejected as it had a grey-white background instead of white. I was directed down to the Admiralty MTR where there is a photo booth. Returned to the consulate, 30 mins later and the application was then accepted. No questions at all were asked..this on the back of METV and three back to back visa exempts. I return to BKK on Monday and will have the three proofs at the ready.
