Question

I am flying from Boston to Hong Kong via Shanghai. Do I need to get a transit visa?

Ms.HELPER · Answer

A transit visa is not required if you hold a through ticket and have booked seats on international airliners flying directly through China, and will stay in Shanghai for less than 24 hours without leaving the airport.
