visa question about take a cruise

Question

Hello,I am traveling to Honk Kong from Mexico to take a cruise that starts in Hong Kong. My flight leaves Mexico City and arrives in Shanghai. That same day I take a flight to Hong Kong. I will board the ship that day (Dec 21) and the ship leaves on the 22nd to Vietnam. The ship ends in Singapur on Jan 3. I fill fly from Singapore on Dec 4th to Shanghai and then to Mexico City on that same day.Do I need a permit? I am confused since I was told I don't need it for Hong Kong, but I am going through Shanghai.Please let me know if I need it and if so which type.Thanks,Kathia Contreras

You also do not need that for transfering in Shanghai. Your first transit is Mexico - Shanghai - HK and stay for less than 72 hours, you are able to enjoy the 72-hour free transit. Your second trip is Singapore - Shanghai - Mexico, you are still qualified for the 72-hour free transit. Just remember to inform the airline that you want to enjoy this policy when boarding from the departure country. Enjoy your trip ~
