About:24-Hour Visa-Free Transit

Get out from Airport

Hello,

What is the process to ask for leaving the airport during the layover? Last time, I saw at Pudong Immigration that a guy wasn't allowed to leave the airport during his layover.
Do you know the email address to ask Chinese Immigration at Pudong Airport please ?
Thanks in avance
Mathilde

To be allowed to exit the airport under, I assume that you are asking about 24 hour visa free transit, you have to do the following:

- Your layover should be longer than 8 hours. They usually don't allow the passengers with shorter layovers to exit the airport.
- If your layover is during the night hours, you are supposed to book your accommodation in advance and to have an accommodation booking in hard copy (a printout)
- If your layover is during the day hours, you should prepare a good reason why should you be allowed to exit the airport, for example to visit this or that attraction or similar. Also, it is highly appreciated if you have booked a tour and have a confirmation about it.

In reality, you are advised not to waste your time by calling and sending an emails because you simply cannot be given a definitive answer? Why? Simply because the issuing of temporary entry permit is not a passenger's right, but a privilege that depends entirely on immigration authorities discretion. You right is only to be allowed to enjoy your transit by waiting for your connecting flight in the airport's transit area. As mentioned above, you should do something to empower your application and you simply cannot do anything more than that.
