Hi,
Following the demise of BD I've been burning miles on Star like crazy, and I'm due to do ADL-SIN-PVG-KIX in a couple of weeks.
I've just seen the list of 'Transit without visa' countries:
Code:
Visas are not required of passport holders of the following
countries, who transit through Pudong Airport or Hongqiao Airport
of Shanghai, provided they hold valid passports, visas for the onward
countries, final destination tickets and have booked seats,
and stay in Shanghai for less than 48 hours : <B>Republic of Korea,
United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany,
France, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Portugal, Spain, Italy,
Austria, Greece, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland</B>.
Ummm... pretty comprehensive. Except... no mention of the UK.
I've just phoned up SQ to check - and they told me 24 hours. Air China says 48 hours. The Chinese Embasy didn't seem to understand the question, and then just read out the list of coutries, which excludes the UK.
So - has anyone gone through on a UK passport, and can they confirm the duration?
