transit, i have a flight which has a 23 hour stopover in shanghai.

Question

Do I need a visa to leave the airport? If not , Do i have to announce at  check in that I want to go out the airport before landing ?

Paul · Answer

There is a desk on the way to immigration that says 24/144 hour transit without visa or something similar. You show your ongoing flight confirmation and they stamp your passport then you go to immigration/passport control. Skip the sign that only mentions 24 hours as that is the one that stays inside the airport. Once you go there you cant leave.
