Question

Hi there, Destination: Chiang Mai, ThailandWe have a 15 hour layover in Shanghai from 7pm-10am next day. We have booked a hotel five minutes away from the airport by shuttle.Do we need a 72 hour visa for this? or a Temporary Stay permit? Will a Temporary stay permit allow us to leave the airport?Thanks, Allison

Allison, you are eligible for the 24 hour direct transit in Shanghai. You need to apply for a temporary stay permit at the immigration office and then you can leave the airport to the hotel.
