transiting in Kunming
Feb 22, 2016 01:56
guest13146 I am transiting for 12 hours in Kunming next week, continuing via Shanghai to LA in US.
I am a Danish citixen.
What does it mean that I am visa free for 72 hours if I cannot leave the administrative area of the transit city ? - Can I find a hotel in that area ?

GUEST04154 You can't use the 72-hour visa-free transit policy because you will stop over in two Chinese cities and this is not allowed under the 72hr rule. If the total layover time is not more than 24 hours, you still don't need the visa and you can leave the airport to find a hotel.

GUEST10960 So what does the 144-hour reference mean in the sentence, "The flights can only stop in one Chinese city, meaning passengers have to enter and exit from the same city, except in Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Guangdong, where the 144-hour visa-free transit has been implemented."? More specifically, like guest13146, I arrive in Kunming and am scheduled to leave China via Shanghai. Time in Kunming (starting at 00:00 on day after arrival) is 8 hours and total scheduled time in China would be 36 hours and 50 minutes; that is, I am scheduled to depart Shanghai on the day after my flight KMG-PVG. Can I use the 72-hour visa-free transit policy?
