Irish pspt holder: poss to get visa on arrival for Shenzhen?

Dear All

I am an irish passport holder and want to visit Shenzhen on a day trip from HKG. Can I purchase a visa on arrival and how much?

Also, how do I get there from HKG and where is the border crossing where I purchase the visa if possible?

Regards and thanks

Irish pspt holder: poss to get visa on arrival for Shenzhen?

You can get a 5-day single entry visa for Shenzhen at the visa office at either of the Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau border crossings (both reached by MTR East Rail about 45 mins journey from the East Tsim Sha Tsui Terminus in Kowloon). The cost was HK$150 until recently but I believe for visas-on-arrival payment is now only accepted in RMB and the cost is approx 160RMB.

Alternatively you can get a visa at the PRC visa office in Wan Chai, details here;

or through various travel agents in HK.
