including Shanghia as the second last port (Hong Kong) the last destination before flying back to Australia (from HK) The cruise company, P & O advise me in that I require a visa for the China stop whether or not I disembark the cruise vessel Shangai (stopover 18 hrs max) before boarding again to continue to HK. I believed I could apply for 72 hour free transit, now discontinued I believe & replaced by 144 hour free transit. Am I correct or have I misunderstood the visa requirements? Cannot contact Consulate to verify (no phone/email reply)
