About:Visa on Arrival

Does the 5 day VOA allow entry into Zhuhai?

For a business trip we are flying into Hong Kong and then travelling into Shenzhen. From Shenzhen we have a tour in Zhuhai and then a day trip to Macau followed by return to Shenzhen and then transfer back to Hong Kong.
For this trip would a 5 day VOA be sufficient?

No, unfortunately, this is not possible.

When you obtain 5 days Shenzhen VOA you can leave Shenzhen to any third country or territory, but not to the destination in mainland China and that is the case with your plan because you were thinking about visiting Zhuhai after Shenzhen. So, you have to first exit Shenzhen to Hong Kong or Macau and only then enter Zhuhai where you have to obtain a totally different and 3 day Zhuhai VOA. In other words, ideal itinerary would be:

Hong Kong - Shenzhen - Macau - Zhuhai - Hong Kong

Also, I have to inform you that, unfortunately, Omani citizens are not formally eligible for both Shenzhen and Zhuhai visas, although that might have changed recently, especially in the light of ongoing visa exemption talks between Oman and China. To conclude, I would suggest you to obtain a Chinese tourist (L) visa in advance and then to travel in the way you have presented.

Omar, I apologize because seeing your name I have implied that you are Omani citizen... Now, I can see that it is UK citizenship :)

So, forget the segment with Omani citizens and proceed with your travel plan in the way I have suggested to you:

Hong Kong - Shenzhen - Macau - Zhuhai - Hong Kong

You will have to obtain two separate visas and you are not allowed to cross directly from Shenzhen to Zhuhai. In any case, I wish you a pleasant stay in this part of China.
