China visa

Hi, I'm planning to fly to Macao, and spend a few days there before entering China via Zhuhai, and then spending 15 days in China before flying out of China from Guangzhou. Is this plan possible? I am wondering if I can stay 3 days in Macao and 15 days in China or does 15 day visa free mean I can only spend a total of 15 days in both Macao and China?

Answered by Dennis | Sep. 18, 2023 01:48

You can of course stay at most 15 days in mainland China and more days in Macau.

If you apply in your home country, the process time is generally 4 working days after all documents are submitted.

I also suppose you are asking for Zhuhai visa on arrival. According to recent feedbacks, only a few Philippines passport holders have got it and the rejection rate is quite high.

Answered by Ann | Sep. 03, 2023 21:53

Hi Molly thanks for info.. But I'm in Macau right now... Is it possible for me to get a 1 day visa?

Answered by Molly | Sep. 03, 2023 23:12

You may have a try but the result is not guaranteed.

Zhuhai Day Trip

Hi,

My husband and I planning to go Zhuhai for a day trip from Macau. Is it correct that we just go over to the Gongbei border maybe via taxi and pass the immigration and we will reach Zhuhai? May I also ask the peak hour at the immigration? Thank you.

Answered by Vivian | Aug. 01, 2023 00:13

Yes, you are right. Singapore passport holders are nowadays 15-day visa-free to enter China. The peak hours are around 09:00-10:00.
