About:China Visa Application Procedure and Fee
Need for Visa for Australian passport holder for 1 day in Shanghai on cruise ship
Do I need it for a one day visit to Shanghai on a cruise ship in April or am I covered by the 144 hr free scheme? Do I need to apply for the 144 hr free transit at the port on the day I arrive or do you think that our ship will pre organise it?
