About:24-Hour Visa-Free Transit

Shenzhen by car from HKG

Hi, I am a UK passport holder visiting Hong Kong and have been invited to visit Shenzhen for dinner with friends and travelling both ways by car. Can i get a 24 hour visa free transit entry permit or should i get a 5 day visa on arrival at the China border crossing? Either way, are there any timing restrictions as i think i read somewhere that the visa free permit office at the China border closes at 4.30pm which would make it difficult to go for dinner!

You can rely on 5 days Shenzhen visa on arrival and not 24 hour visa free transit because visa free transit implies a transit and not a return trip Hong Kong - Shenzhen - Hong Kong.

The price of this visa is 130 CNY and it should be paid by your card (cashless form). Since you plan to travel by car your obvious choice is Huanggang border crossing and although the border crossing is open round the clock, visa office opening hours are just: 9:00 - 16:30.

In other words, you will have to cross the border before 16:30 in order to obtain a visa on time, but you can return back to Hong Kong when you wish since you do not need a visa office when returning back to Hong Kong.
