SHENZHEN PORT VISA (LoWu)
2023 Guide/Experience Sharing (March 18, 2023)
Since some members have been messaging with questions:
1. Make sure you:
A) Travel between 9AM and 430PM (Mon-Sun). That's the new working hours of the Port Visa Office at LoWu. You can't cross until 11pm like before. If you get this wrong, immigration in CN will send you back to Hong Kong.
C)For best convenience, fill out the CN health declaration online. They will scan it before you can enter the port visa office. Simply click here below for that or scan the QR code at the CN immigration side. It's quite crowded with confused HK passengers, so it's best to do this in advance:

A) Get the East Rail Line in Hong Kong at any station and get off at LoWu.
B) Follow the crowd, exit the HK MTR gates with octopus or ticket (last chance to get RMB before crossing HK immigration at ATM, towards the left).
C) Keep walking. You'll enter the crowded health declaration area. Just keep walking and scan your health code when asked. You can fill one on the spot too.
D) From there, to your left, you'll see a sign above for the Port Visa Office. Remember: if you get there after 430pm, you'll be returned to HK.
E) Take the escalator to the Port Visa Office. They're very slow. On a sat morning arriving at 9AM, it was 2hr 30min in full just for the visa. They're all clearly new staff and look a bit untrained.
F) Take a number at the screen, don't just walk in and wait endlessly (many people do) until realizing you need to take a number.
G) Take out a picture at the orange cabin outside. I don't remember doing this pre-pandemic but now it's mandatory. It's free but you need to keep the receipt to submit with your visa application.
H)Fill out the form at the inside or outside form station- Same form as before really.
I)Get to the counter once your number is called, hand the form and your passport in.
J)Pay the RMB168 Fee (could be different for your country). THIS CAN NOW BE DONE WITH VISA, MASTERCARD, AMEX, WECHAT PAY CHINA, ALIPAY CHINA, UNIONPAY. In fact, they DON'T TAKE CASH.
K) Wait for your number to be called again. For me it was 1hr+ wait. Can be more.
L) Once your number pops into the collection counter, get your passport back.
LL) get your shiny new visa and cross the border downstairs. Remember to fill out the visitor card.
