About:144-Hour Visa-Free Transit

Transit visa 144 hours HK-Shenzhen-HK

I'm a Philippine passport holder. Do I need to apply for a Chinese visa when I will only travel to Shenzhen and be back in Hong Kong via train on the same day?

Mae, the only way how could you do that is to rely on 5 day Shenzhen visa on arrival. Before I start to explain I will openly tell you that the success record for the citizens of the Philippines for obtaining such a visa is relatively poor, so you have to count on a high possibility to be rejected.

If you decide to proceed with this scheme, you will arrive, preferably in the earlier morning hours, around 08:00 - 08-30 at Lo Wu / Luohu border crossing because the visa office at Luohu starts operating at 09:00. There you will fill out the form, the photo of you will be taken and if you are lucky, you will be granted a visa by paying 130 CNY by card only. Early arrival at the border crossing is essential to avoid the major queues that will form at some later stage. In any case, especially if you decide to proceed with this scheme, I wish you the best of luck.
