before starting our cruise. Our cruise lasts 5 days and takes us to both Japan and Korea. We then return to Shanghai and then fly back to the US 1.5 days later. Can we use a visa exemption both before and after the cruise? Do we request the 72 hour exemption in the beginning and another 72 hour exemption after the cruise?

Wayne, you can use the free transit in Shanghai both before and after the cruise.

We will be arriving into Shanghai (from Chicago) staying less than 24 hours
