Question

Hello,We are traveling to Amsterdam from Sydney and have an overnight stop over in Shanghai. We are all traveling on Australian passports. Will we need a visa to leave the airport? We want to book a hotel for the night.Thank you for your help.

Leaving the airport without a visa for a layover under 24 hours is at the immigration officer's discretion. Some reported that bringing a hotel reservation will help. So if you have hotel reservation, you can give it a try.
