About:First Time China
Laos-Shanghai-Los Angeles USA
I am a valid US passport holder. I will be flying to Shanghai from Laos, staying in Shanghai for 2 days. And, then I will be flying out of Shanghai to Los Angeles USA. Do I qualify for the 72 hour visa-free transit? If so, I apply for that in the airport when I get to Shanghai, correct?
