is a previous chinese visa a requirement for phil passportholder to get a shenzhen visa?

Question

Is a previous Chinese Visa a requirement for Phil Passportholder to get a Shenzhen Visa? There are conflicting information where immigration officers might refuse to issue visa upon arrival at Lo Wu to a Filipino Citizen. I plan to make a side trip to Shenzhen on Feb. 21 with my mother and sister both of whom have no previous Chinese Visa. Thanks for any info.

Yes, it's hard for filipino cotizens to get on-arrival visa in Shenzhen. You'd better apply for it from the China Embassy in philippines before departure.
