Lyne, if you don't transit in other Chinese cities except Shanghai, you don't need the transit permit.

Hi,
I have a 13 hr layover as well in Shanghai, then will go to Tokyo. If I only hang out in Shanghai for the 13 hours... will I need the 24 hr direct transit permit ?

Hi, Lynn, so you will travel like USA-Shanghai(13 hours)-Tokyo, right? If yes, you are eligible for the 24 hour direct transit in Shanghai. No visa is needed.
