Part one:
Actually, it is 144 visa free transit and not 144 hour visa. There is no visa at all.
It is important to know that your itinerary is eligible for 144 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa. However, since you have mentioned Hong Kong and the visit to this city, you will have to do the following:
- You will have to buy a ferry ticket through CKS - Chu Kong Passenger Company website that will take you from Shekou port in Shenzhen to Hong Kong even before your departure from Kuala Lumpur. However, you have to be aware that you cannot take a ferry from Shekou/Shenzhen before you have stayed in Shenzhen area for at least 24 hours to become eligible for 144 hour visa free transit. In other words, your ferry departure from Shenzhen is allowed to be after you have stayed 24+ hours in Shenzhen.
- You will print out your ferry ticket and you will have it at hand, ready to present along your flight tickets that should also be in a printout form.
- You will really have to take exactly that ferry you have bought your ticket for.
- During your check-in in Kuala Lumpur you will declare that you will travel to Hong Kong via Shenzhen using 144 hour visa free transit and you will present them flight and a ferry ticket.
- You will also book your accommodation in Shenzhen and have a printed confirmation for at least the first overnight.
- Upon landing in Shenzhen, the first thing you will do is to approach the transit counter where you will apply for a temporary entry permit to be allowed to exit the airport. Here you will again present your flight tickets and your ferry ticket. After a short check, your permit will be granted and you will exit the airport.
