Hi Zupan, thanks for your reply!! Can you help to clarify below:

1) I applied for China Visa in Dec 2007 before, that was like 12yrs ago. Will that be ok? Just bring my old passport along will do right?

2) Do you mean if I hasn’t gotten any China Visa before I will risk to be denied entry and won’t get the VOA ? It will be case by case basis for the VOA approval in this case?

3) Can I do it at either Louhu, Shekou or Huanggang checkpoint? Or only the specific checkpoint?
Thank you very much!

Yes in principle, but if I were you I would go after VOA just in case that I have been granted a Chinese visa previously. Without this detail, you risk to be denied VOA as it has happened to several other Malaysian citizens.

1. Yes, that is OK and you should bring your old passport with your used Chinese visa inside, along with your new passport.

2. Exactly. Without the previously granted Chinese visa, your chances for VOA would be mildly speaking uncertain. It is practically always case by case basis in VOA approval, including for the citizens of the countries that are eligible for 144 hours TWOV. Sometimes they appear even on this forum complaining that this particular visa wasn't granted for some reason.

3. The best bet is to apply for your VOA at Luhou border crossing. You will first cross Lo Wu crossing that is Hong Kong counterpart to mainland Chinese Luohu crossing. You could also apply on some other crossings, but I would definitely suggest Luohu. It is also the most convenient transport wise.

I really expect that your application will be a successful one :)!
