About:China Visa on Arrival

I'm Thai citizen plan to visit Zhuhai from Hongkong via HZMB bridge. Can I do VOA in Zhuhai Port?

I'm Thai citizen plan to visit Zhuhai from Hongkong via HZMB bridge. Can I do VOA in Zhuhai Port? or I need to take ferry to do VOA at Jizhou port?
Also, me and my wife visited China many times. So we don't have any problem showing previous issued Chinese Visa. But we will go with 1-year old son which he doesn't have previous Chinese Visa.

Ps. we plan to visit Zhuhai during 4-5 May 2023 in which we may not have enough time to perform regular visa from Thailand.

Joey, you will be perfectly fine with both HZMB bridge because the Chinese authorities have been issuing Zhuhai visas even before Covid outbreak and your eligibility for Zhuhai visa since you have been granted a Chinese visa(s) before. You should just bring the passports of you and your wife where your old Chinese visa(s) is/are visible. You do not need a previous visa for your son because he is just an infant accompanied with his eligible parents. Anyway, you should be aware that he will be issued a visa that has to be payed regardless of his age.

Dear Borut,

Thank you very much for your answer. Anyway, my previous Chinese Visa has been expired since 2019. Is that still OK? Also, does it mean I can travel from HK to Zhuhai via bus and can do VOA at Zhuhai port. Is that right? Or do I still need to take ferry in order to arrive at Jinzhou port to do VOA?

Thank you very much

Joey, it really doesn't matter if your previous Chinese visa is expired. It is important that you had one in the past and that you are able to present it at the border crossing entrance to the border authorities. So, if the Chinese visa is in your old passport, just bring it with you regardless of the fact that the passport and visa itself are annulled.

Also, yes, you will be able to get Zhuhai VOA if you take a bus to Zhuhai. You don't have to take a ferry because even the arrivals by bus via HZMB are eligible for this VOA option.
