About:72-Hour Visa-Free Transit FAQ
Flying to Shanghai from DXB on China Eastern Airlines and transiting to Air China flight to Tokyo
We have entry visas for China that allow one entry only. I have a Dutch passport and my wife has a Colombian one. When we first arrive at Shanghai airport, we will take another flight out to Tokyo the same evening.
Five days later, we will return to Shanghai from Tokyo to enter China and stay 5 days on our one-entry visas. So, when we arrive in transit in Shanghai, can we get our bags from the China Eastern Airlines flight, check them in with Air China to Tokyo (5 hours later) WITHOUT passing immigration?
If we must pass immigration while in transit to pick up and check in the bags in the other airline, we will lose the right to enter Shanghai when we return from Tokyo. Please advise.
Thank you.
