About:Visa on Arrival
Shenzhen VOA for Australian Passport Holders
We're visiting HK in two weeks time and would like to go to SZ for shopping. We're Australia citizens but born in Iran.
In 2015, we applied for and were issued the 5-day VOA on Louhu and went into SZ and that was great. Last year (2016) we tried the same but we were told that the 5-day VOA won't be issued because of our country of birth and we should apply with the Chinese embassy in Hong Kong for a visa. We ended up returning to Hong Kong very disappointed :(.
Do you know if this situation has changed or should we forget about going to SZ because of country of birth even though we both hold Australian passports.
Thanks
