on our return trip back home (toronto), we plan to fly from hong kong to shanghai

Question

on Dec 28, leave the Shanghai Airport, stay one night  in a hotel near the airport, and then the next day Dec 29 departing from Shanghai to Toronto.  I assume this 72-hour visa-free transit applies to us.    Do we have to show any documents (hotel receipts, airline tickets) to the custom officers in Hong Kong on Dec 28,  and in Shanghai on Dec 29?

Steven · Answer

Yes, you can enjoy the 72 hour free transit in Shanghai. Both your airline ticket and hotel receipt are required for the free transit permit and you should make sure inform your airline about the transit request before boarding plane in HK so that you are able to get the permit granted on arrival.
