visa for cruise - singlemulti entry ????

Question

We are doing a cruise which leaves from Sydney, stops in QLD, NT, then Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, then Shanghai, Dalian and Tianjin.  Is a single entry visa ok as the last 3 stops are all in China or is getting back on the cruise boat each time considered a visit therefore we need multi entry.

Mr.JOHNNASH · Answer

You need a multiple entry visa because you will disembark at three ports within Mainland China: Shanghai, Dalian and Tianjin. Please show the cruise itineray when you apply for China visa.

Mr.JOHNNASH · Answer

I get the information from the official website of Sydney CVASC (Chinese Visa Application Service Center). The rule states Cruise ship passenger may apply for single,double or multiple－entry visa based on cruise ship's route and number of entry. Therefore, a travel itinerary is required
