How GBA entry works

Mainland China (Shenzhen, Guangzhou): 55 nationalities qualify for 240-hour (10-day) visa-free transit. Shenzhen SEZ visa-on-arrival (5 days, CNY 168–956) available at Lo Wu, Huanggang, Shekou. Others need a standard L-visa from a Chinese consulate.
Hong Kong SAR: ~170 nationalities enter visa-free (90–180 days). Independent from mainland entry — crossing the border resets your status.
Macau SAR: 79+ nationalities visa-free for 30–90 days. Visa-on-arrival available at Macau airport (MOP 200 single).
Always verify current rules with the China NIA, HK Immigration, and Macau DSAEJ before travel.
