tokyo-shanghai-france

Question

Hello, I am a French passport holder. I have been staying in Shanghai for 5 months and I will go to Tokyo in a few days. Then I will return to Shanghai and stay less than 6 days in Shanghai before going to France. Can I apply for 144 free transit for the route : Tokyo-Shanghai-France as a French citizen ? Thank you !

Yes, you can. Your itinerary and your citizenship makes you eligible for 144 hours visa free transit in Shanghai. You should take care that your flights do not have any additional landings within mainland China.
