People often get confused that only passport holders on the "list" are allowed TWOV at all, and that is not the case.
Hi Jiejie,
That's good to know. Aside from the time period (in Shanghai), is there any other difference in rules between TWOV for preferred and non-preferred? e.g. leaving the airport/staying in a hotel. I wouldn't want to spend the night in PVG airport.
This is actually for my travel partner on a Romanian passport. I have an US passport for which the rules are, it seems, better known (at least on the internet). Just curious if aside from the different time period (48 v 24), the other restrictions are the same.
Thanks.
