About:24-Hour Visa-Free Transit

UK to Vietnam with a layover in Shenzhen

Hello, we are UK nationals flying London to Hanoi with a 7 hour layover in Shenzhen airport on May 4th 2019 and returning the same way 2 weeks later. Will we need a visa for the layover in Shenzhen?

A lot of the information online is contradictory and out of date so we are confused. Thank you!

No, since from the recent time also Shenzhen airport started to offer 24 hours visa free transit. In other words, you can travel visa free. Also, by assuming that you plan to use Shenzhen Airlines for your entire travel, your transits will be even more relaxed. In reality, it is fair to say that Shenzhen Airlines with its expanding network is the main "culprit" for the recent establishing of the mentioned convenience.

Shenzhen has recently adopted 24 hours visa free transit, so you will travel your route visa free. The most important factor that made successful pressure on Shenzhen airport authorities and those above them was Shenzhen Airlines, rapidly growing airline based in the city of the same name. I could even bet that you will fly using mentioned company :).
