Question

I am an American passport holder living in Japan long term on a working visa. I wish to visit Shanghai for business purposes for only 48 hours. Do I need a visa? What kind do I need?

Ms.HELPER · Answer

Visas are not required of citizens of USA who transit through Pudong Airport or Hongqiao Airport of Shanghai, provided they hold valid passports, visas for the onward countries, final destination tickets and have booked seats, and stay in Shanghai for less than 48 hours. However, you won't transit Shanghai, you are to visit Shanghai, so I think you will have to apply for a China Tourist visa.
