About:24-Hour Visa-Free Transit

TWOV to go from Hongqiao (SHA) to Pudong (SVO)

Dear official,

My wife and I are flying from Seoul, South Korea to Moscow, Russia.
We both are Guatemala passport holders.
(We are residents in South Korea, American visa holders, and we both have been issued Chinese visas before)
We booked a flight from China Eastern Airlines.
The first leg is GMP - SHA arriving at 20:50.
The second leg is PVO - SVO departing at 11:55 the very next day.

Are we elegible for TWOV so that we can go from SHA airport to a hotel, and then to SVO airport to depart China? (Everything in less than 14 hours)

Thank you very much for your answer.

Roberto, your itinerary is definitely and undeniably eligible for 24 hour visa free transit and you do not any kind of visa.

I strongly advise you to print out your flight tickets for speedy processing in both Seoul at your check-in as well upon landing in Shanghai.

When you land in Shanghai the first thing that you will do is to approach 24/144 hour visa free transit counter. There you will apply for a temporary entry permit in order to be allowed to exit the airport because you have to exit that one to enter another one the day after. This another one is PVG and not PVO, just to avoid any misunderstandings. This application is free of any charge and here you will present your passports, flight tickets and your accommodation booking confirmation for the overnight in Shanghai. After your permit is granted, you will proceed toward immigration and to spend your time in Shanghai until your departure from PVG to SVO.

There should be no problems whatsoever because your itinerary is a very logical one. By the way, you do not have to emphasize to Chinese officials your residency status in South Korea or US visa because it is only your flight itinerary and your citizenship that really matter. In any case, I wish you a pleasant journey.
