Question

I was wondering if I can make use of the 144h free transit when using the following travel routes and stay in Shanghai for 5 days:Amsterdam (Netherlands) - Shanghai - Paris (France)orFrankfurt (Germany) - Shanghai - Zürich (Swiss)Or do you think these countries are grouped as one region?

Hi Ben, That is totally fine. The Netherlands and France or Germany and Switzerland are different countries and that’s what counts. Cheers!

Ben, You ever traveled this way?I think that China is seeing Europe as one region.That is what a visa company told me in the Netherlands.
