bangkok - shanghai - bangkok / passport holder from belgium

Question

I am a Belgian Passport holder,   having a return ticket Brussels-Bangkok, planning to stay in Shanghai for 4 days. I will hold a return ticket Bangkok-Shanghai to this end but will enter Thailand for 1 or 2 days before flying back to Brussels. Do I qualify for the 144 visa free transit?Thank you

ZUPAN · Answer

No, unfortunately, you don't.There is a simple reason:Bangkok - Shanghai - BangkokThis is obviously not a transit, but just a simple round trip flight. We miss a third country...To be allowed to perform this itinerary, you will need a Chinese visa obtained in advance or you will have to rearrange your flights. For example, your eligible itinerary for Shanghai could look like this:Bangkok - Shanghai - Hong Kong - BangkokOf course, there are other options and variations, but at least now you know and you can bring good decisions.
