144 hour

Question

I am flying into Shanghai from London via Paris.Staying in a Hotel in Shanghai for 2 nights, then leaving on a cruise, from the cruise terminal, finishing in Australia. I am not going to any other part of mainland China, Would I qualify for the 144 hour, visa free transit ?Thank youV

ZUPAN · Answer

Definitely. Your itinerary is perfectly within the legal frames for 144 hours visa free travel. Anyway, take a look at your cruise itinerary because after Shanghai you should not enter any other mainland Chinese port. I understand that you have written that you will not be going to any other part of mainland China, but people sometimes forget that the ports on their cruise itinerary count in the same way as if they were flying to some other mainland Chinese city. By the way, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau are fine because the rules treat them as a third country.
