An update on my January 2019 post. About: no-female-Ukraine-passport holders: Unfortunately this rule is still valid and enforced (December 2019). Ukrainian women can not get the 5-Day-Shenzhen-Visa at the border. No border Visa for Ukrainian women!

According to this website below you can get a visa on arrival (VOA) at the Shenzhen airport:

For Ukraine only men can get the 5-Day-Shenzhen-Visa, women can not!. The charge is RMB 409 (about US$ 60).

To make it easier to find questions and comments I added a forum.

Another change at the border! You now need a passport picture when you apply for the 5-Day-Shenzhen-Visa. There is a photo booth just outside the visa office.

It’s not exactly news, but since a few month USA passport can get the 5-Day-Shenzhen-Visa!
