Please be advised that with immediate effect, the Chinese Government has placed the following restrictions on the issuance of the China 144 Hours Convenient Visa Through Approved Tour Operators –

1. This visa will now be issued only when the COMPLETE package – including hotels, tours & transfers – is booked through the authorised tour operator.
2. Only a specific list of Accredited Hotels can be used, failing which the visa will not be issued.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused on account of this unforeseen development. A list of accredited hotels is given below for your reference.

For Guangzhou & Canton as well, the whole package must be booked through approved tour operator only, but no accredited hotels are specified. Only condition is that the full package must be through the approved tour operator.

This new regulation does not affect those pax who wish to make a day-trip ex-HKG to Shenzhen with same day return. They will continue to get the visa as earlier, provided the tour is booked through the approved agents.
