If they are in direct transit within the airport, they possess an onward flight ticket and their flight is within 24 hours 2. They are solely going to Shanghai, arrive at either Pudong or Hongqiao airports and are spending a maximum of 48 hours there. In this case, a free visa-on-arrival may be obtained at passport control.
