we are uk residents on a cruise from hong kong through shanghai then onto okinawa.

Question

Can we have a 144 hour visa?

Luca · Answer

Philip, in principle, you can enjoy the 144 hour free transit, but if you enter and leave by the same cruise ship, the cruise may require you to provide a tourist L type or transit G type. You are advised to contact with the cruise company and confirm that.

Hi Philip, It sounds like you might be going on the same cruise as me and I am getting lots of different answers. From January this year , on the UK government website It says a visa is not required. And the Shanghai news says the same. one visa company says We don't need one and another says We do. Confused !!!!
