| Shenzhen | Getting a visa to mainland China in Shenzhen Posted: Wed April 2, 2008 09:42 AM UTC
Hi all,
I'm on a 5 day visa in Shenzhen, travelling to HK and then Shanghai on Saturday. I've been trying to get a visa to mainland China all day, with no luck (didn't find it at the bordercrossing). Anyone got an idea where I can get one, an agency maybe? Hope I don't have to travel all the way to HK to get one, that would suck. VERY THANKFUL FOR ANY GOOD REPLIES!! :-) |

I haven't tried to get a visa in in this way in a few years, so I could be wrong. I believe it is the policy at the immigration station at the Shenzhen border to only issue 5 day visas that restrict you to the Shenzhen area. To get a full China visa, you have to go to Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, you can get a visa in under 2 hours if you go to the China Cultural Center near the Star Ferry station in Wanchai. I have done it in an hour. See my tip on the subject at this link.

visas are tricky at the moment. I think you will have to go to Hong Kong. they have stopped issueing visas at the border crossings evidently.
