About:24-Hour Visa-Free Transit

Entry and exit in Shanghai different airport

Hello,

A Philippines passport holder here. I will be transiting in Shanghai and will enter in PVG airport for 23 hours before going to Taiwan on 30 Nov. My entry point will be PVG but my departure airport will be SHA. Will there be any problem about that?

Second question.
From Taiwan I will be transiting again in Shanghai on 3 Dec before my flight to South Korea but my entry point will be SHA airport and my departure airport will be PVG.

Will there be any problem applying a 24 hour temporary visa if I will be arriving and departing in different airports but still in the same city?

Thank you in advance 🙂

Trisha, there are no problems because using different airports is perfectly allowed, but your total transit time based on your scheduled arrival/departure is not allowed to be longer than 24 hours! If your total transit time is shorter than 24 hours, you will be covered by 24 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa.

The first thing you will do upon your landing in Shanghai (regardless which airport) is to approach 24/144 hour visa free transit counter where you will apply for a temporary entry permit by presenting your flight tickets and your hotel booking if your layover is during the night. This application is free of charge and I encourage you to print out the tickets and your hotel booking. After that you will head to the immigration and then to the city to spend your time on your own before taking your next flight. The same thing you will repeat on your second arrival in Shanghai. Have a nice journey both ways.
