MAD-SHA-Philipines-SHA-MAD

I am planning to flight to Boracay Island. My trip is going to be MAD - SHA with Iberia Airline and them after 25 hours I will take a plane from Shanghai to Boracay Island in the Philippines with Air Asia.. After one week in Philippines I will take a plane in Philippines to Shanghai (Air Asia) and After 6 hours in Shanghai I will take a plane from Shanghai to Madrid with Iberia. Do you believed that I will be able to apply for two 144 exception permit in Shanghai... One the first time that arrived to Shanghai because my final will be Philippines and after one week Could I apply for a second 144 exception visa permit?

Thank you very much for your help.

David, your entire itinerary, under the condition that you have mentioned your all stops is definitely eligible for visa free transit in Shanghai. Please, have in mind to print out your flight tickets and to have them with you!

During your first stop in Shanghai, you will be eligible for 144 hour visa free transit because your layover will be longer than 24 hours.

During your second stop in Shanghai, you will be eligible for 24 hour visa free transit because your layover will be less than 24 hours.

In any case, you are perfectly fine and you don't need any kind of visa.

By the way, there is no limit on how many times and how often you can use visa free transit of any kind. Theoretically, you can use this scheme every day.

One detail more... You will probably use Kalibo airport to reach Boracay and not Caticlan airport that is sometimes called Boracay airport because it does not have a direct connection with Shanghai. Have this detail in mind to use exact name of your Philippine airport!
