About:Visa on Arrival

Brisbane to Shenzhen with a couple of days in Macau

If we fly from Australia BNE to Bao'an Airport, can we get the 5 day visa on arrival at the airport? Then during the 5 days can we go to Macau for 2-3 days by ferry, then return to SZ by ferry and then on the 5th day depart SZ back to BNE?
Australian passports. Can this all be done on the 5 day voa or would we need to purchase another voa into SZ after disembarking the ferry from macau?
Any other info appreciated.
Thanks
j

Joe, there is much better solution than that.

As you can see, your travel itinerary is:

Brisbane - SZ - Macau
Macau - SZ - Brisbane

Both of your itineraries are eligible for 144 hour visa free transit in SZ and also the rest of Guandong province. It is free and you can travel throughout the Guangdong province and not only within the SZ Special Economic Zone!!!

To be eligible for this option you have to:

- Have a direct flight ticket from Australia to SZ without any additional landing within mainland China
- Stay inSZ at least 25 hours before departure for Macau
- Have a ferry ticket from Shekou port to Macau (you have to book it online, before your travel from Australia)
- Have a ferry ticket from Macau to Shekou port (you have to book it online, before your travel from Macau)
- Stay in SZ at least 25 hours before departure for Australia

As you can see, you can enter twice in mainland China without any visa, but traveling on 144 hour visa free transit. You will probably need some additional explanations, so don't hesitate to ask.

One huge correction, apologies... Just disregard the segment from Macau to Australia via SZ...

It is not possible to be eligible for any visa free scheme while traveling by ferry from Macau to SZ, but you will apply for 5 day VOA upon your arrival from Macau to SZ, right at Shekou port. After that, you will be able to move just within Special Economic zone...

So, the first portion, from Australia to Macau visa SZ is definitely eligible for 144 hour visa free transit and you will be able to travel within the entire Guangdong province, but for your journey back to SZ, you will use VOA.

I apologize once more because of the mistake in my first post. Like this is correct and definitely doable.
