Can you leave Shenzhen Airport during a layover?

Yes, you can leave Shenzhen Airport during a layover without a visa. Since December 17, 2024, transit rules in China have been simplified: visa-free exit to the city is allowed for up to 10 days (previously 240 hours) with the possibility of multi-stop. And for Russian tourists, from September 2025, a 30-day visa-free regime has also been introduced. For this, there are Transit Without Visa counters at the airport that help process documents for visa-free transit, and Russian tourists can go directly to passport control. You can leave the airport to rest in a hotel, walk around the city, or even visit other places in China. This is convenient for travelers with long layovers, but note that the procedure may take time. For example, if your layover is less than 8 hours, it's better to stay at the airport to avoid risking missing your next flight.
