About:Visa on Arrival

Which Visa? HK to ShenZhen to HK (flying to Vietnam from HK, then flying back to UK from HK)

Hello, 3 UK passports travelling to HK in March. Confused about visa needed.
We will be flying to HK from UK and will also be visiting Vietnam before flying back to UK.

We wish to visit Shenzhen (1 or 2 day stay), from HK, returning to HK. We will stay 1 night in HK before flying to Vietnam. We will return to HK (from Vietnam) before flying back to UK (from HK).

Thank you

You will use Shenzhen 5 day visa on arrival. The best border crossing is definitely Lo Wu / Luohu that you can reach from the center of Hong Kong by direct suburban train on East Rail Line (Hong Kong MTR). The price for a visa is 130 CNY and you can pay for it by your bank card (debit or credit) or in Chinese cash (CNY). Everything is done at the border crossing and you do not have to do anything in advance. After your stay in Shenzhen you can return to Hong Kong by taking any border crossing and also any mean of transport, high speed train included. Have a nice visit to Shenzhen.
