Ivan McAvinchey Yeah, but then Malaysian Immigration would have to cancel their exit stamp, which they would do, but just another stamp I wouldn't want in my passport.....
So they insisted on the same airline but the airline was flexible with the destination, since technically you'd be going back to Manila. Thanks for the answer.
No ID required ignore that requirement from the website. I got about 4 or 5 SETVs from HGK over time (but in different passports), the last one being 3 weeks ago.
Tyson Kuresa That's correct. Proof of funds is not generally required, neither tickets, nor bookings. Just the application form, white backgroud photo, copy of passport including the HK entry slip on the same page, and the HKD 300 fee. There have been reports however, where people that had too many tourist visas in their passports were asked to provide a bank statement, and some isolated reports like the OP's, of being turned down.
