With a group visa, also commonly known as L visa, you need to go to a travel agency to organize a group to leave the country together. It is just a formality, but you can actually achieve the purpose of traveling independently in Hong Kong.
The choice of many tourists is to go to the departure hall and find a travel agency to sign up for a group tour to Hong Kong. It is not a real tour group, but just a group to go through customs. It is also commonly known as a customs clearance service. The people from the travel agency will take you through the Chinese Customs through the group channel.

Regarding visas
If you want to go to Hong Kong, you must first have a Hong Kong and Macao pass. How to apply for it and how to sign it will not be repeated here, but it is still necessary to talk about the following two points (click to view: Shenzhen self-service application Hong Kong and Macau Pass Endorsement Guide (Conditions + Process)
01 Be sure to pay attention to the visa validity period
The first thing I want to say is a low-level mistake that many people make, that is, not checking before departure The validity period of the pass!
02 About G visa and L visa
A few days ago, a fan asked the editor if I can directly pass the customs with an electronic pass? The answer is of course No, even if it is an electronic pass, it is still divided into G visa and L visa.
G visa: It is an "individual travel visa", which has city restrictions. You can enter and exit Hong Kong freely without going out in a group. And you can fly directly to Hong Kong from the mainland.
L visa: It is a "group travel visa". For most cities, it is an L visa. If you want to travel with a group, you cannot fly directly to Hong Kong.
The only difference between passing the G visa and the L visa is that the L visa also requires a group form. If you get the L visa but want to travel independently without joining a group, you have to go through one more step of the process, but it’s not troublesome. On a certain treasure Search for "Hong Kong customs clearance". There are countless merchants that provide this service. You can choose the customs clearance gate and time period.
It should be reminded that it is best to confirm the check-in and time as soon as possible and buy in advance. The price will be much cheaper than buying on the same day or on-site! After arriving at the port, call the group visa contact and get your group visa. You can go through customs by yourself with a watch~About manual channels and self-service channels
First of all, if your pass is still a notebook, then you should just take the manual channel obediently!
If If you have a G-signed electronic pass, you can go directly to the self-service channel at the border inspection in China, but you need to go through the manual channel once at the Hong Kong border inspection, and you can use the self-service channel on your return trip and beyond.
If you have an L-sign electronic pass, no matter whether it is your first time or not, you will have to go through a manual channel for border inspection in China. However, there is a latest good news. L-sign electronic passes can also be used at Luohu Port. Self-service customs clearance is now possible!
Starting from January 27 this year (New Year’s Eve), Luohu Port has officially launched the “Self-Service Inspection Special Area for Group Travel” to inspect and release outbound passengers in groups. At this point, all passengers aged 7 and above holding a card-based electronic travel permit to and from Hong Kong and Macau can use the self-service channel to clear customs.
I believe that in the near future, this convenient measure will be available at all ports in Shenzhen. However, it should be reminded that the group visa and customs clearance steps mentioned above cannot be omitted.
