Question

There board ship  cruise throughout ASIA and departing ship at end of cruise in Shanghai .From there fly to Hong Kong and then back to Australia.Am I eligible for a 144 hour stay in Shanghai on this trip

Larry · Answer

Bill, if the last country or region the ship came from before entering Shanghai is not HK, you can enjoy the 144 hour free transit in Shanghai.

Bill · Answer

Thanks Larry,The itinerary of the ship is   Singapore,Thailand.Vietnam.Xiamen( China). Hong Kong, Taipae,Yokohama, Osaka,Seoul ,Shanghai.Then fly to Hong Kong to Australia.From your answer ,which is so much appreciated, I have a concern that the ship visits Xiamen before it gets to Shanghai.I know I can get a day visa on board if I want to get off at Xiamen.Does the visit to Xiamen by the ship affect my eligibility for the 144 hours in Shanghai

John Doe · Answer

I don't think so since you are technically arriving at Shanghai from a third country, and Xiamen issues its own special visa for foreigners which authorizes a stay of three days.

Bill · Answer

Thank you to John Doe from Canada.Much appreciated
