Question

I'm Mexican but I live in sydney, I'm traveling via Shanghai next october from Canada to Sydney on my way back to Sydney. Do I need a visa to be in the airport in Shanghai? If I do, how much does it cost, how to apply and how long does it take?

Mr.JOHNNASH · Answer

If your stopover in Shanghai Pudong Airport or Shanghai Hongqiao Airport is less than 24 hours and you won't leave the airport, a transit visa is not required. Otherwise, you need a transit visa, you can apply it in Sydney if you are still there. It costs  50 Australian dollars for single entry transit visa, it takes 4 working days for processing, you can submit the visa application directly to China Visa Application Service Center in Sydney.
