Do they no longer issue visa on arrivals at the HK-SZ border? They were doing so at least all the way up until the the border closed because of the pandemic. Shame if this option is no longer on the table as I regularly took advantage of it for SZ hotel runs + golf trips. I'm no longer based on HK, but would love to come back to Shenzhen next time I'm in HK -- even if only for a day trip.

I'm a European passport holder though -- maybe they stopped issuing visas on arrival for Americans only?
