About:72-Hour Visa-Free Transit FAQ

Flying to Phuket from USA via Shanghai and Chengdu

I am flying to Thailand but have a 12 hour layover in Shanghai and 4 hour layover in chengdu. I only plan to leave the airport in Shanghai, but stay in the airport in Chengdu. Will I qualify for the 72 hour visa in Shanghai if I show my airline ticket to Chengdu then on to Phuket?

Tanner, you don’t qualify for the 72 hour free transit in Shanghai, but you are eligible for the 24 hour direct transit. You just need to apply for a free temporary stay permit at the immigration office inside Shanghai airport, and then you can leave the airport.
