  For a Malaysian passport holder, do I need a Transit Visa in Shanghai?

  I am a little confused. In the Q & A dated March 16, 2015, it was answered you do not need a transit visa.
  But in the Q & A dated Oct 13, 2017, it says you need a transit visa.
  I am a Malaysian, travel by China Eastern Airlines from KUL to JFK, New York. Will transit in Pudong Int airport, Shanghai for 4 hours. Do I need to apply for a transit visa? Kindly advice. Thank you.

• Oh, the new regulation stays that Malaysian passsport holders have to take the transit visa when transferring in China now. So it is best to apply for one in advance.

• No, you don't need visa as long as you don't go out of immigration checking area. I transited at Pudong Airport twice to Japan recently. Transit time 7 hours. I didn't need visa. Make sure you inform the ground officers you're transmitting internationally and they will point you the right way. This only apply to several airport in China. Best check with Malaysia China Embassy website for the list of airport.
