About:240-hour Visa-free Transit in Liaoning

is it eligible for Liaoning 144 hours visa free policy?

Hi,
we are holding Australian passports, traveling to North Korea from Taiwan through Sheyang Airport.
Are we eligible for the 144-hour visa-free transit? or we need to apply for Chinese tourist visa?
Thank you so much!

Unfortunately, we will only stay in Shenyang for 15hours (Taiwan-Pyongyan) and 25 hours (Pyongyan-Taiwan), so we have to apply for different transit visa, is that right? Thank you for your reply!

Yes, your itinerary, under the condition that both of your flights, i.e. Taiwan - Shenyang and Shenyang - Pyongyang are non-stop, you are definitely eligible for 144 hour visa free transit in the entire Liaoning province. You are advised to contact your travel agent who organizes your trip to North Korea, to supply you with all the necessary documentation, in the first place a confirmation of your onward flight from Shenyang to Pyongyang. You will need this documentation first in Taiwan where you will declare that you will be flying to North Korea via Shenyang using 144 hour visa free transit. Also, you will present this documentation to the Chinese authorities upon your landing in Shenyang.

Please, keep in mind that your entire stay within Lioning province has to be longer than 24 hours to enjoy 144 hour visa free transit, otherwise if your stay is less than 24 hours, you will be covered by 24 hour visa free transit. So, if you can, it would be advisable to stay longer because like this you would be able to explore this Chinese province. Of course, if you find this idea attractive and suitable for your travel aspirations.

No, no... You don't need any kind of visa at all. With your layover, you will be eligible for 24 hour visa free transit. You will just apply for temporary entry permit upon your landing in Shenyang. It will be granted after very short time and you will be able to collect your luggage and to exit the airport. After your short stay in Shenyang, you will return to airport for your check-in for Air Koryo flight JS156. That's it :)
