I am confused if I need a Chinese Visa. Please help me.
Hello,
I am really confused about my upcoming cruise, because the travel agency I visited told me that I need a Chinese Visa for my cruise. I called the cruise line, Holland America, but they do not know if I need a Visa. I read online that there is a 72-hour Visa exemption for Beijing and I know that there is a 144-hour exemption and a 15-day exemption for Shanghai. But I do not know if I meet the requirements for any of the exemptions. I am also unsure if I need Visas for Qingdao, China and Dalian, China.
I hold a United States passport and I plan on flying from the United States to a different Asian country and then traveling from there to Hong Kong. From Hong Kong, I will catch a flight to SH for my cruise. I also plan on staying one more night in a SH hotel after the cruise, then fly from SH back to the United States.
Here is my cruise schedule:
Day 1 - SH, China
Day 2 - SH, China
Day 3 - At Sea
Day 4 - Qingdao, China
Day 5 - At Sea
Day 6 - Beijing (Tianjin), China
Day 7 - Beijing (Tianjin), China
Day 8 - Dalian, China
Day 9 - At Sea
Day 10 - Fukuoka, Japan
Day 11 - Pusan, South Korea
Day 12 - Cheju Do, South Korea
Day 13 - Nagasaki, Japan
Day 14 - At Sea
Day 15 - SH, China
So, my question is: Do I need Chinese Visas for my family of 3 or do I meet the requirements for any of the exemptions?
Thank you in advance,
Fa
