  transit visa in Shanghai

  My friend lands in Shanghai and has to exit the airport for a couple of hours to get her luggage, then check in again to fly back to France.
  We heard a lot of different stuff about the transit visa, and the 48hours permission with a French passeport.
  How did it go for you? Did you actually manage to pass the customs without any visa application?
  Some people told us that sometimes the customs make a fuss about it and won't let you exit the airport. That's what we are trying to avoid by all means.
  
  Thanks for your reply!

• don't worry Jean,
  according to the Exit and Entry Regulation of China, French passport holders are allowed to stay in Shanghai airport for 48 hours for transit.
  i don't think there will be any problem if your friend have valid travel documents, like her passport, air ticket back to France.
