ReplyTravel with out visa
Hello,
I would like to enter Guangzhou from Hong Kong and then have a flight to Singapore 4 days later. I believe I am eligible for visa free entry as I have proof of travel to another country.
Besides airplane, what form of transportation (ferry or train) would be best to ensure I am able to enter China without a visa?
Thank you!

00ReplyHK - Guangzhou - Malaysia is an eligible route. But you cannot travel by train in this case, because the railway stations do not issue the visa-free entry stamp. You need to travel by flight to Guangzhou Baiyun airport or ferry to Nansha.

00ReplyThank you for your response Amy. Are you sure the Hong Kong railway doesn't have the visa free stamps? Malaysia is visa free 30 days in China. (Not 240hrs visa free transit) Was told I can enter by air, sea or land. Thank you in advance
Answered by Amy | Jan. 05, 2025 23:1900Reply
00ReplyUnder the 30-day visa free policy for Malaysia citizens, you can enter visa-free via any open port and via any transport, so you can travel as planned by train from HK to Guangzhou. Remember to prepare the ticket to leave mainland China within 30 days before entering.

ReplyHK to Guangzhou south or east train station?
I am taking a high-speed train from Hong Kong to Guangzhou and back. I am staying in Tianhe.
Is it more convenient to arrive and depart at the east station? I see that the train takes thirty minutes less to get to the south station. Thank you.

ReplyTransit via Guangzhou from hk and to Taipei but with layover in hk
I’m planning a trip through Guangzhou and I will enter through hk and leave to go to Taipei. The question is whether this route is possible for the 144 day exemption rule? What if the flight to Taipei goes through hk as a layover and it’s one itinerary.

Answered by Rita | Nov. 18, 2024 19:0600Reply
00ReplyYes, it's an eligible route for the 144 but your flight should be directly to Taiwan without layover.
