can we use the 144 hour exemption if our flight from ny lands in beijing first, then

Question

We're flying to board a Princess Cruise departing Shanghai. We land in Beijing. After a 2hour layover, we fly to Shanghai  to board he ship. Do we qualify for the exemption?

Marco · Answer

Hi, you cannot use the 144 hour free transit in Shanghai because of your layover in Beijing. You are advised to apply for a visa for that beforehand.

Danny · Answer

You don't qualify for 144 hours, but you probably do qualify for 24 hours direct transit without a visa.
