Hi,
For a Malaysia passport now in holidaying HK, is it still possible to get Visa on Arrival at Zhuhai and at which entry point?
Second question, if i get visa on arrival at shenzen and then travel to zhuhai, can i exit China from Zhuhai (jiuzhou) or do i have to go back to Shenzen to exit?
Oct. 26,2009 03:34 Mr.Lucas replied:
Mr. jason, you can get a visa on arrival at Gongbei Entry Port in Zhuhai because Zhuhai is a special economic zone which has right to issue a visa at entry port. But the tourist visa only permits you stay in Zhuhai for up to 3 days.
If you get a visa on arrival in Shenzhen, the visa on arrival only permits you stay in Shenzhen for up to 5 days, you need apply for another visa on arrival at the Zhuhai entry ports if you want to Zhuhai.
It is hard to get a visa on arrival at the mainland China except Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Xiamen.

I am planning to go to Beijing for a month in January. I have an Indian passport, but am currently living in Nepal with my wife and son, who both have British passports. I was previously told that I could get a visa in Hong Kong, but have also heard that as I am Indian I may have a problem. Is this true? Also, if I were to get a visa in Hong Kong would I need to ensure that I have all the documents mentioned on the website (ie bank statement, letter of invitation etc) Thanks.
