Part 1:
Yes, you can use it and it is allowed, but you have to count your total transit time starting from your first scheduled landing (in Shanghai) until your final scheduled departure (from Kunming). In other words, that time has to be shorter than 24 hours. If it is shorter than 24 hours you are eligible for 24 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa. Here is what will you do in the exact order:
- Before the flight you will print out your flight tickets (ticket confirmations). This is so much easier than handling the tickets over the mobile phone. You should have your flight tickets at hand in both Sydney and in Shanghai.
- Also, before departure you will fill out Chinese arrival card online through China National Immigration administration (NIA) website where your entry point will be - Shanghai Pudong!
- At the moment of check-in in Sydney you will present your flight tickets and declare that you are traveling to Dhaka via China (Shanghai and Kunming) under 24 hour visa free transit scheme. After a short check, you will be issued a boarding pass for your flight to Shanghai and probably to Kunming.
- Upon landing in Shanghai the first thing you will do is to perform fingerprinting at automatic fingerprinting machine.
- After fingerprinting you will proceed to 24/240 hour visa free transit counter where you will apply for the temporary entry permit by presenting your flight tickets. This is free of any charge. After a short check you will be granted a temporary entry permit because you have to enter China formally because you have two different cities (airports) within your itinerary and a domestic flight between them.
- After you have obtained a temporary entry permit you will proceed to the immigration.
- After immigration you will head to the gate for your domestic flight to Kunming.
