About:24-Hour Visa-Free Transit

24 hour TWOV and 240 hour TWOV UK Passport

We fly into Beijing from Hong Kong, spend 4 days in Beijing before travelling to Shanghai for a further 3 days. We then board a cruise to Japan for 7 days. On our return we leave the ship and fly back to Hong Kong on the same day. Am I able to apply for a 240hr TWOV on my arrival in Beijing and then a 24 hr TWOV at the cruise port?

Yes, you will be able to do that. If I have properly understood you, you have two segments that have their stops in mainland China: 1. Hong Kong - Beijing - Shanghai - Japan and 2. Japan - Shanghai - Hong Kong. So, if I have properly understood, the first segment will be covered by 240 hour visa free transit and the second one by 24 hour visa free transit. This is all fine and you will be definitely allowed to obtain a temporary entry permit at the cruise facility in Shanghai. When you obtain a permit, you will exit the cruise facility and proceed to the airport for your flight to Hong Kong. The conclusion is, you do not need any kind of visa because your entire itinerary will be covered by 240 during your first stop and by 24 hours visa free transit during the second one. Have a wonderful journey.
