Hope everything will be sorted out for you!
I have just submitted my naturalization application, can you keep us update on this matter, I m going to need to apply mainland Chinese Visa too :?

Here are what i found that might help?

According to Chinese nationality law Article 9: Any Chinese national who has settled abroad and who has been naturalised as a foreign national or has acquired foreign nationality of his own free will shall automatically lose Chinese nationality.
It did use the word 'automatically'.

Although I just found on Embassy Website http://gb.china-embassy.gov.cn/eng/visa ... 383966.htm

Basic documents required for visa

Point 4 did state that Photocopy of previous Chinese passports or previous Chinese visas (applicable to foreign nationals who once held Chinese nationality)

The Chinese passport last held and a photocopy of its data page and permanent residency of foreign country and naturalization paper are required when applying for a Chinese visa for the first time

thanks for the info. I ordered a NC replacement on the 9th Jan, and I'm waiting and praying I will receive it soon.

Hello . Have you received your replacement naturalization certificate yet?. HMPO lost my naturalization certificate last month and they've just applied for a replacement.

I wonder how long it will take to get it?
