About:240-Hour Visa-Free Transit

Day trip from HKG to Shenzhen

I am a USA passport holder flying from LAX -> HKG desiring to directly transit to Shenzhen for a day trip before returning to HKG (onward to Japan the next day). Is there a better option than walking across and obtaining a Port Visa at Lo Wu?

- [Day #1] LAX -> HKG
- Day Trip Shenzhen [on arrival day]
- Overnight hotel in HKG
- [Day #2] HKG -> Japan

In my opinion, by far the best option is to take a ferry from HKIA to Shekou in Shenzhen. There are about 10 daily ferry departures and you can buy a ticket from HKIA Skypier to Shekou online at Chu Kong Passenger Transport Company (CKS) website (cksp.com.hk/#/main/home ). It is important to understand that you should not exit the airport toward Hong Kong immigration, but to continue toward Skypier because if you exit through Hong Kong immigration you will not be able to use Skypier any more. There the airport staff will transfer your luggage to the ferry and the ferry will take you to Shekou where you will apply for Shenzhen 5 days visa on arrival (regardless if you want to stay just as a day trip or 5 days. You should just check whether the airline you will fly into Hong Kong is associated with this very convenient option and you should be aware that you have to arrive at Shekou 7:00 - 22:30; application Deadline: 22:00. Once when you arrive in Shekou that is a neighborhood of Shenzhen, you will take a taxi to your destination in that city or by a public transport. The price for a 5 day Shenzhen visa on arrival is 130 CNY and you will pay for it by a card. All major global cards are accepted and you do not need to perform any formality before your arrival in Shekou. By far the best option without any doubt and without the entry into Hong Kong. When your visit to Shenzhen is over, you will just proceed to Hong Kong by any border crossing and by taking any mean of transport, high speed train included.
