Question

we are US citizens and flying from chiang mai to LA and 15hr layover in Shanghai can we get a 12hr transit visa on arrival  so we can take a tour of the city thank you

Rob · Answer

There is no 12hr transit visa on arrival and if you refer to that it will only confuse the check-in agent in Chiang Mai. You qualify for 24 hours transit without visa. Whether you can leave the airport depends on the immigration officer at Shanghai.
