Planning for a day trip in ShenZhen

Im an Indonesian passport holder and planning to stay in shenzhen for a few days and back to HK. The question is can i get a VOA at the Shekou port? since i see lots about VOA rejected at LouHu Visa Office

or is there any other options to apply VOA? like from a bus station?

Answered by Amy | Dec. 15, 2024 17:24

Shenzhen VOA is only available at Luohu, Huanggang or Shekou Port and the possibility to get it is the same at the three ports. Indonesian passport holders may be rejected so I advise you to apply for a China visa at HK visa center or join a tour group organized by HK travel agency to tour in Guangdong Province visa-free.
