About:72-Hour Visa-Free Transit FAQ

Asking from Thailand 72 hour pass.

Hi,

I am traveling from San Francisco to Shanghai, Shanghai to Bangkok, Bangkok to Beijing, Beijing back to Shanghai, and finally Shanghai to San Francisco. Will I qualify for a 72 hour pass?

Please let me know asap as I am leaving to Beijing in two days.

Hi, it is ok for first entry to Shanghai, but this 72 hour exemption does not apply to a transit via two cities, so you need a visa from Bangkok to Beijing then to Shanghai. But if your second entry is less than 24 hours (including domestic flight between BJ and SH), visa is not necessary.

Sorry, I am afraid not, but you can further confirm this with your airline, or Beijing airport directly at 0086-10-56095400
