i will be cruising with princess cruises from australia in may 2017 on a 50 day cruise

Question

and will stop 1day in Shanghai then go to Korea  then back to Beijing for 1 day (3 days in all ) I will be organizing tours in both Shanghai and Beijing dose this qualify me for the 15 day free entry. The tour company in Beijing are telling me I do not need a Visa  Everyone I speak has a different versionPrincess are saying to be safe get a double entry but if not necessary why pay $135 for something not needed plus the inconvenience of arranging a Chinese Visa.

Teresa · Answer

When entering Shanghai, if you are received by a travel agency at Shanghai Port International Cruise Terminal or Wusong Passenger Transport Center, you will be able to enjoy the 15 days free entry, and you are allowed to travel to Beijing, too. But as you said, you will go to Korea, and then go back to Beijing, in this case, I’m afraid you cannot enjoy the 15 free entry in Beijing. You need to apply for a visa for Beijing entry.
