About:24-Hour Visa-Free Transit

Bangkok - Shanghai - overland to Hangzhou - connection in Shenyang - Moscow

Found an interesting deal for this route (all with China Eastern, 5-6 days total stay in China), does it qualify for 240 hours visa free transit? Mostly I'm concerned regarding the connection in Shenyang. Thanks in advance.

Dmitry, your itinerary is definitely and undeniably eligible for 240 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa. All the places you have mentioned in your post are valid for a visit while on stay of 240 hour visa free transit in China. You are advised to have those flights (flight booking confirmations that have arrived into your inbox) printed out and at hand. When will you perform a check-in in Bangkok you will declared that you are traveling to Russia via China covered by 240 hour visa free transit and you will present your flight tickets as a proof. After a short check, you will be allowed to board the Shanghai bound plane. Upon arrival in Shanghai the first thing that you will do, along with a filling out a relevant form, is to approach 24/240 hour visa free transit counter where you will apply for a temporary entry permit by presenting your flight tickets and the accommodation for the first night because you will be asked to name your hotel. This application is free of any charge. After your permit is granted, you will head to the immigration and then outside the airport to enjoy your Chinese visit. It is important to understand that your will not exit China all the way to Shenyang. In other words, your flights and moves will be purely domestic until Shenyang. It is in Shenyang that you will cross the exit immigration and take your international flight to Moscow. I understand that in Shenyang you will have just a connection, but it is the last point in China where you formally exit the country. You can proceed with your travel plans and have a nice visit to China.
