Neil · Answer

Quintin, if your travel route is country A-Shanghai (24 hours)-country B, you can use the 24 hour direct transit. No visa will be needed then.

Quintin Bruce · Answer

Thank you Neil. So we are arriving from NZ for a business meeting and returning to NZ after. Will the 24hr transit rule apply?Do i need to do anything to adopt the 24hr transit exemption or is our confirmed travel bookings enough?Quintin

Neil · Answer

No, it doesn't apply if you travel like New Zealand-Shanghai-New Zealand because it's not a transit at all. Usually, you just need to provide valid passport and air tickets if you are eligible for the 24 hour direct transit.

Quintin Bruce · Answer

OK, so does that mean i do need to apply for a visa? Sorry to bother you but i am just trying to be sure i am doing the correct thing.

neil · Answer

Yes, you need to apply for a visa then.
