I was born in hk but moved to nz when i was 12, 20 now, and never renewed my HKID, 2 years ago when I was 18, I travelled to HK using my expired HKID stayed there for 9 days, within the 14 day must replace expired ID window, anyways, now I'm going back to HK end of the year, this time getting my ID renewed.

I was wondering if I could travel to mainland using my NZ passport as entry document and using the foreign 30 day visa free program instead of entering using my (expired in 2018) return home permit. As the whole process including getting my HKID I estimate would take more than a month or two. Which I do not plan to stay in HK for that long
