Foreign nationals invited by registered companies in the
Lin-gang Special Area of China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone can
now enter under a port e-visa for tourism, business, talent, work
and personal affairs. The e-visa is valid for a 15-day single entry
(extendable for another 15 days). The holder can enter through any
international port in Shanghai and exit from any other
international port within the country.
Additionally, the 144-hour visa-free transit policy for eligible
nationals of 54 countries has been expanded to the Zhengzhou
Airport in Henan Province, the Lijiang Sanyi International Airport,
Mohan Railway Port and Kunming Changshui International Airport in
Yunnan Province, and the additional cities in Kunming including
Lijiang, Yuxi, Pu'er, Chuxiong, Dali, Xishuangbanna, Honghe and
Wenshan. The policy is now effective at 37 ports of entry in China.
The transit visa allows tourism, business, and family visits, but
work, study, and other purposes of travel require a separate visa
application.
