About:72-Hour Visa-Free Transit
Same origin, but connecting flights in 2 countries
I am flying from Spain to Shanghai, and I was wondering if the following ticket is okay:
Departure: Malaga->Paris->Shanghai
Return: Shanghai->Amsterdam->Malaga
As you can see my port of departure and return destination is in Spain (Malaga). But since there are no direct flight I will be connecting once from Paris and in the return from Amsterdam (connecting only for a few hours in each) - so the immediate countries I go to/from China will be France and The Netherlands.
Is that okay for the 144-hour visa, or will they consider Spain as the arrival/destination country?
