Entering shenzen from Hong Kong uk passport

Hello I am planning on going to Shenzen with my British passport next week

I am correct that I can just apply for VOA if I take the rail to shenzen upon arrival and that it should only take around ten minutes (excluding queue's)

I have heard so many different stories about others applying before hand in london for the visa and just wanted to make sure it is as simple as just going straight there and to the visa board and applying and paying a fee

Many thanks

Kenneth, you cannot take a cross border train to Shenzhen because this is not an eligible way to obtain a 5 days Shenzhen VOA. There are three eligible border crossings and probably the most convenient one is Lo Wu (Luohu) that you can reach by suburban train from the center of Hong Kong. Visa office is located at Luohu crossing and its opening hours are 9:00 - 16:30. You are advised to be there at 08:30 in order to avoid the major queues. It is true that you need just your passport and everything else will be performed at the visa office including the photographing, filling out the form and the payment of 130 CNY by card. After that you will enter Shenzhen.

After your stay in Shenzhen, you are free to return to Hong Kong by taking any border crossing and any mean of transport, high speed, cross border train, included.

It is not possible to apply for this visa in advance.
