Do i need a visa? what sort do i need thanks

Marie, if you travel like UK-Shanghai (1 night)-Japan-Shanghai (4 nights)-UK, you will be able to enjoy the 144 hour free transit in Shanghai in both directions. No need to apply for a visa then.

Thanks Justin,i know i can get visa at airport before my cruise,but have you any idea where i can get my second one once my cruise is finished thanks

At the cruise terminal where you'll be clearing immigration and customs.

Hi Marie. I'm flying from uk to Shanghai stopping 2 nights then picking up cruise to Japan. Then returning to Shanghai for a night then flying back to uk. I've tried everywhere to get an answer on what if any visa I need. I'd like to hear from someone in the uk that's done this. I'm at a loss completely. Thanks

Hi, Lo, so your travel route will be UK- to Shanghai(2 nights)- Japan-Shanghai(1 night)-UK, right? If yes, you will qualify for the free transit program in Shanghai in both ways. No visa is needed then.
