Question

Asked by Bet K from Canada About:24-Hour Free Transit FAQWhat type do I need? Regular one,  OR  24hr. free transit and where to apply for that? We are Flying from Vancouver Canada January 24th 2017 to Shanghai. Stay 1 night in Shanghai before boarding  day 16 night cruise to Japan, Taiwan, Philippine, Vietnam & Hong Kong .  If we qualify for the 24 hrs free transit, would we have trouble boarding our plane in Vancouver with China Eastern WITHOUT the regular China entry sticker on our passport?  Anyone, please, please who used the 24hr free transit method before from Canada  please give us solid confirmation that it's o.k. & let us know what procedure we must take as time is running late if we need to apply for the regular China entry visa instead of the 24 hrs free transit.  THANK YOU !!!

Yes, you will qualify for the 24 hour direct transit in Shanghai. No regular visa will be needed then. After arrival at Shanghai airport, you need to apply for a temporary stay permit which is free of charge, and then you can go to the wharf to board the ship.
