hi there. anyone can tell me about shenzhen visa?

Question

Hi there. Anyone can tell me about Shenzhen Visa? I am Czech Citizen and live in UK. I will visit Shenzhen next month for 2 days, entering from Hong Kong. 1. Can anyone tell me if this is 100% sure that I can get a Shenzhen Visa at Lo Wu and how much it costs (can pay in HKD or CNY)?2. What is a closing time for this facility? I will arrive at the airport at 20:30, allowing 1 hour for customs I will leave HKIA around 21:30. Will I be in time?3. I will travel with a Thai friend, who study here in UK. Is he also eligible for this kind of visa?As a reference I would like to quote Chinese Embassy in Bangkok, saying that: From Nov. 15th 2000, aliens traveling to Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions(SAR) in tour groups organized by travel agencies registered in the above-mentioned SARs are exempted from visa requirements for a period of not exceeding 6 days when entering into the following Chinese mainland cities: Guangzhong, Shenzhen, zhuhai, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jinangmen, Zhaoqing, Huizhou,etc. The premise is that the traveler shall have the citizenship of a country having diplomatic relations with the People?s Republic of China and carrying an ordinary passport Thanx a lot...

1. Yes, the cost is 150HKD. No heard of stopping handling the on-site visa. 2. Huanggang Border Custom: close at 24:00. you have time to be there. 3. Yes.The premise is you join in a tour arranged by a travel agent. Hope it is useful.

Thank you for answering this Mr.Jason. As you refer to Huanggang (not LoWu) does it mean the Shenzhen Visa is available there as well? So far I hav known it's available only at LoWu...Any idea what companies with tour of Shenzhen SEZ I can use to join them just to get through the border? I assume that any return bus connection ticket (GoGo or EE) from HKIA to SZ does not count??? Any comanies that I could find at HKIA then???

Hi Petr, it is not 100% sure that you could apply for a visa to Shenzhen when you arrive at Luohu. I knew some foreigners were refused when they apply for visa at Luohu. So, if possible, you should apply for a China Visa before coming to China. As for the port, I think you could raach Luohu before 24:00 when the port will be closed. If you miss the time, you have to go to Huanggang which is opened round-the-clock.Even if you participate in a tour group, valid visa and passport are required all the same.
