Shanghai, as one of the world’s largest and most modern metropolises, is a major attraction for tourism and business. It’s no surprise that many Russian nationals are actively interested in whether they need a visa to visit Shanghai.
The answer is that for a full-fledged visit to Shanghai, applicants need to obtain a tourist visa issued during a personal visit to the nearest Chinese embassy or consulate in Russia. The second option is to seek assistance from the Premium China visa agency, whose specialists will handle all the visa application procedures for Shanghai.
If an applicant wishes to fly directly from Russia to Shanghai, they need a single-entry visa valid for up to 30 calendar days. Obtaining a single-entry visa to Shanghai for Russian nationals takes about 10 days, excluding pasting the visa into the applicant’s passport.
You can obtain a Shanghai transit visa electronically for printing on a color printer. The document is presented at the Russian border, and upon arrival in Shanghai, Premium China representatives will meet the applicant to issue the original visa.
This type of visa to Shanghai requires submitting a clear itinerary and purchased tickets. If any changes occur to the itinerary, they must be reported to the migration agency. All changes are reviewed for a fee.
Another frequently asked question is whether a visa is needed when connecting in Shanghai.
There are specific rules at Shanghai airport allowing citizens of 58 countries, including Russian nationals, to stay in the transit zone for 24/72/144 hours without a visa. For a longer stay of up to 30 days, a single-entry tourist visa to Shanghai should be obtained.
The following set of documents is required to apply for a visa:
- international passport
- a copy of your internal passport
- digital photos with a white background
- filled-in visa application form
- a copy and original of health insurance covering the travel period
- round-trip tickets
