Transit visa?

Odin, since you have mentioned that you will fly in and out of China, Shenzhen in your case, by Shenzhen Airlines then you can rely on 24 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa.

Borut, thanks for answering questions. I am flying from UK to PVG to Bangkok. I will have a layover in Shanghai for 13 hours. I plan on staying at the airport. I just wantet to confirm I do not need to do any paperwork etc.? Just show my tickets (for onward travel) and passport when I arrive at PVG?

You are perfectly correct. You do not need any kind of paperwork, announcement, application or similar. Really, your flight tickets are perfectly enough. You will be just in a simple transit and as I can see, you prefer to stay airside or to be precise in the transit area of Shanghai airport.

I will just inform you that if you decide and you can do it upon your landing in Shanghai, you can if you wish, apply for a temporary entry permit for free at 24/144 hour visa free transit counter to be allowed to exit the airport. This application consists of presenting your onward flight tickets to Bangkok. Since your layover is 13 hours long I was thinking that you could find this option appealing to kill your waiting time. In any case, it will be up to you to decide. Have a nice journey.

I have read online that shenzhen does not have 24h visas?
So since i fly shenzen airlines, is all good?
I am from norway and flying oslo-london-shenzhen-ho chi minh 7h transit in Shenzen

I have the same question, I read online and someone said that Shenzhen needs a transit visa for a layover flight.
In case a visa is needed, do I need to prepare any docs?
Thank you

Generally, there is no problem to use 24-hour visa-free transit.
