Hi we are travelling to Shenzhen from Sydney. We arrive on the 24th and depart on the 1st March. Normally we would get the entry permit from Lo Wu station but because we need a 6 day entry permit pass we went to the Chinese embassy in Sydney but it was closed for Chinese NEW YEAR. Now we dont know what to do. Can we get a 6 day one from Lo Wu station ? Thanks

You need to call the port visa office in Luohu to check if they are still open in the CNY holiday period.

Thanks John, but I think they are back on the 23rd Feb. I would like to know if Lo Wu station offer a 144 hr visa or is it just a 5 day visa. Thanks

Land borders do not offer visa-free transit of any kind and only the 5-day, Shenzhen-only VOA is available for a fee.

Hi if I arrive to Lo Wu station on the evening of 24th Feb at about 7pm and depart on the 1st March at approx. 6pm will the 5 day visa be sufficient?

The duration of stay starts from the second day of entry so it should cover your trip.
