does the 144 hour free transit apply if the third destination is hong kong?

Question

As this country does not require a visa but is still classed as China? We want to book a flight to Shanghai and then fly to Hong Kong before traveling home to the UK without needing an entry permit? Is this possible?

Zoe · Answer

Amanda, your plan is fine. HK can is part of China, however, due to different immigration systems, it can be regarded as a third destination and HK doesn't require an entry permit for American tourists if the stay does not exceed 90 days.
