cruise from shanghai/japan/shanghai - visa?

Question

I am flying to Shanghai, spending one night, and boarding a cruise which goes to Japan.  The cruise returns to Shanghai where I will spend one night before flying back to the US.  Is a Visa required?  Can I get a 24 or 72 hour free transit?

Nancy · Answer

Brooke, if you returns to Shanghai from a different country, and then fly back back to the US, you can use the 144hrs free transit in Shanghai for both ways.

How do I get the 144hrs free transit pass?

Brooke · Answer

Do I have to get a 144 hours free transit pass at the airport when I arrive (for the one day spent in Shanghai before my cruise), and another at the cruise terminal when I disembark the ship (for the one day spent in Shanghai before flying back to the US)??  Are there stations at the cruise port for this purpose?

Nancy · Answer

Yes, you are right. You need to get the first free transit pass at the airport when you arrive and the second when you disembark the ship. There is a special lane at the cruise port for this purpose, don't worry.
