cruising to 2 ports in china for under 8 hrs. do i need a visa?

Question

I am an Australian and cruising into Xiamen port for 1 day(>8hrs) and then to Shanghai port for 1 day(>8 hrs) and flying from Shanghai to Singapore. Do I need an entry permit? If so can you confirm it is for double entry?

Rachel, if your total layover time in PRC is less than 24 hours, you are eligible for the 24 hour direct transit. Thus, you don’t need it. If not, you need to apply for a tourist L type or transit G type with double entries.
