About:72-Hour Visa-Free Transit

72 hour Transit Visa in Shanghai and I want to visit Jinjiang

Hello, I would like to ask you if I can use 72 hour transit for this travel: Prague - Frankfurt - Kuala Lumpur - SHA- Frankfurt - Prague? Or if I change the flight details to: Frankfurt - Kuala Lumpur - SHA - Frankfurt - Prague, I would like to stay SHA for 48 hours. Is there a possibility to travel for a few hours from there to Jinjiang City of Fujian if I would have the ticket for the same day SHA - Jinjiang - SHA? Or I need one for this flight? Thank you for your answer! Stephanie

No, you need to apply for a Chinese visa in advance becuase this measure does not allow passengers to leave Shanghai.

Thank you for your reply Lorin! But if I stay in Shanghai, could I use this 72 hour transit for this flight: Prague - Frankfurt - Kuala Lumpur - Shanghai - Frankfurt - Prague ?

Is this a round-trip ticket? if yes, you need to apply for onein advance. You can also confirm this with your airline if necessary.

Thank you Lorin. I have two flight tickets from two airlines - first (part 1) is Prague - Frankfurt - Kuala Lumpur with Lufthansa, then I will stay few days in Malaysia, then is second flight ticket Kuala Lumpur - Shanghai with Malaysia Airlines and then is the first flight ticket (part 2) Shanghai - Frankfurt- Prague. I was trying to discuss it with Malaysia Airlines and they told that I need to speak with embassy so I was traying to discuss with China embassy in Prague and they told me if I meet the rules I will get this permission and that they will accept or not accept it during check-in in Kuala Lumpur. So it looks like that it dipends on the actual situation at the airport. And that's all. So I'm very confused what will happen. The truth is that in Kuala Lumpur they will see that Iḿ travelling to Shanghai and after two days I have a valid flight ticket from Shanghai - Frankfurt to Prague. So they will know that I don't stay in Shanghai for more than 48 hours and that I have a flight ticket. So it looks like that is correct and I can travel to Shanghai, is that correct? What do you think?

Yes, you are right, it is ok if you will be allowed to board the plane in KL with ticket for departing flight within 72 hours. Anyway, you can try to contact the Shanghai Airport transit service directly at 0086-21-51105100 for confirmation.
