Do I need a transit visa in Shanghai to Japan?
I hold a Thai passport. I'm planning to go to Japan through Shanghai from the US. It's the only reasonable price I could find. The transit would be around 6 hours at Pu Dong airport. I can only find information about 72-hour visa free program which Thai passport holders are not among the countries there. But I cannot find any other information what should I do to apply or do I need a transit visa to go through China if I'm not going out of the airport?
