I am a British citizen planning an itinerary of London-Tokyo-Shanghai-London. Does my stay in SH qualify for the visa-free transit policy?

A: Your itinerary from Tokyo to Shanghai and onward to London meets the requirements for the 240-hour visa-free transit, provided you hold a valid international travel document with more than three months' validity and a confirmed onward ticket to a third country or region within 240 hours. Final approval is subject to verification upon arrival.
