About:240-Hour Visa-Free Transit in Guangdong

Visa free travel to Guangzhou

I'm interested in finding our if and how I can utilise / apply for the visa free travel to Guangzhou from HK (144 Hour visa or otherwise). I hold an Australian passport and came across your comments about the 144 visa free transit. I have also come across comments about joining a tour from HK travel agents that will also be visa free. Please advise if either method is still available and how to apply for such visa. I can also go to Macau as suggested above if that is necessary. My planned travel to HK is Dec 2023. Thank you.

In reality, this is not a visa, but visa free transit. Also, you do not apply anywhere, but you have to create an eligible itinerary and just proceed using it and enjoying 144 hour visa free transit in entire Guangdong province. So, if you depart from Hong Kong and you want to return there, the the most logical itinerary is:

Hong Kong - Guangzhou - Macau (- back to Hong Kong from Macau)

There are, however, several conditions:

- You have to fly from Hong Kong to Guangzhou because only the arrivals by air to Guangdong province are eligible for 144 hour visa free transit.
- You will have to take a ferry from Shekou port in Shenzhen to Macau. Also, keep in mind that you will have to book online, in advance your ferry ticket to Macau through TurboJet website, print out your ticket, have it with you and in the end take exactly that ferry you have bought your ticket for.

At the time of check-in in Hong Kong, you will declare that you are traveling to Macau via Guangdong province using 144 hour visa free transit and you will present them your ferry ticket. The same thing you will do upon your landing in Guangzhou. Basically, this is it.
