Thank you.

In fact I'm going to enter to Shenzhen through Shenzhen Bao' international's airport. Then I'm gonna come back to my country through Hong Kong.

So to get the VOA, which documents I have to show? They will required me a return flight or something? Because my return flight won't be from Shenzhen.

Thank you,

Yes, you are allowed to leave Shenzhen to Hong Kong with your Shenzhen VOA and you can use all the means of transport and all the border crossings. My favorite option is to take a high speed train from Shenzhen to Hong Kong West Kowloon railway station. After you have reached Hong Kong you can proceed wherever you want.

I assume that you will apply for a Shenzhen VOA by traveling from Hong Kong to Shenzhen. If this is the case, the most recommended border crossing is Lo Wu / Luohu border crossing.

Paula, it's never safe to rely on obtaining a Shenzhen VOA on arrival. Visas are by definition something that can be granted, but also denied for no reason. Exactly for this reason, many airline companies are reluctant to take those passengers to Shenzhen that state that they will be flying and obtain VOA upon arrival. In reality, it is airlines that make the greatest obstacle for such an option. As always, I suggest you to rely on 144 hour visa free transit. Of course, I assume that you plan to arrive in Shenzhen by direct flight from a foreign country!

To be allowed to enjoy this option, you will have to book a ferry ticket from Shenzhen Shekou port to Hong Kong through CKS - Chu Kong Passenger Transport company website. Please, keep in mind that this ferry has to have its departure at least 24 hours and 1 minute distant from your scheduled arrival by plane to Shenzhen. You will print out an e-confirmation that you will receive on your email and you will use this e-confirmation as a proof that you will be traveling to Hong Kong. This option is well known and is definitely safe and you should definitely use it. Like this you will be able to travel to Shenzhen with peace of mind, to enjoy your stay and later to travel to Hong Kong using the above mentioned ferry. This option is also absolutely free from any charge.

Make yourself a favor and accept this advice, you will be definitely happy and also you are allowed to travel throughout the Guangdong province and not only to stay within Shenzhen city limits when you use this 144 hour visa free transit option.
