- For individuals who hold passports or other international travel documents with a validity period of less than 3 months, have a visa refusal stamp from the Chinese visa authority, or have a record of illegal entry, exit, residence, or employment within 5 years, the border inspection authority will not issue a temporary entry permit. Therefore, such individuals cannot apply for a 72/144 hour transit visa exemption.
- Do not exceed the scope or time limit of the stay area
The stay period for 72/144 hours of visa free transit foreign nationals is calculated from midnight on the day of entry.

If it is necessary to stay in the visa free stay area for more than 72/144 hours due to force majeure or other reasons, the corresponding stay permit should be applied for and processed from the entry and exit management department of the public security organ in accordance with regulations. -
