Question 1- What if I haven’t prepared any Visa and want to enter China?

Most of the time, I will reply to my dear clients “I am sorry but I have to say that you might be refused at the customs”. Generally, you must obtain a Chinese visa before travel to China.

In one situation, I will say “Don’t worry, we will take you to the port and assist you to make a landing Visa”. You might be curious, in which situation it is that foreigners could make a Chinese Visa immediately. This Visa named The Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Travel Visa or Shenzhen 5-Day Visa on Arrival.

However, there are some requirements you needed be fulfilled:

A.   You are crossing the border from Hong Kong to Shenzhen

B.   You will only stay in Shenzhen for a few days.

 Question 2-If I match the above requirements, could I apply for this Visa?

My answer is “It depends on…the nationality.” It is not racism. Each country has its foreign policies and it changes from time to time.

Since the country list is not open to public and the visa policy may change without prior notice. , if you want to make sure that you could apply for this Visa, please send email to res@chinaairporttransfer.com for your request, and our customer service team will confirm with the customs officer and reply you back shortly.
