Turkish passport holders wishing to explore Shanghai

Hello, I and my husband will be coming back to Turkey from Japan and we will be having 14-hour layover in Shanghai Pudong Airport. We are Turkish passport holders. Can we stay in Shanghai with free transit visa and leave the airport to explore the city during the layover?

Well, nobody but a Chinese immigration authorities can precisely answer to your question. However, since your layover belongs to the category of long ones, I would say that your chances to be allowed to exit the airport are really very good.

In order to be allowed to exit the airport you will do the following. Immediately upon your landing in Shanghai you will approach 24/144 hour visa free transit counter. There you will apply for a temporary entry permit by presenting your flight tickets. This application is free of any charge. After a short check and decision making, you will be, hopefully, granted a permit and you will then proceed to the immigration to exit the airport and to enjoy the city on your own. I wish you the best of luck in this regard.
