Issues related to 144-hour transit visa exemption

Question: Hello, the public security organ recently announced the relevant policy of 144-hour transit visa-free. My friend wants to visit China and meet the visa-free conditions. She wants to know how to calculate 144 hours. Thank you!

Hello, those who apply for 144-hour visa-free transit should hold a valid passport or other international travel documents and a joint ticket to a third country (region) with a fixed date and seat within 144 hours, fill in an entry card for foreigners who enter temporarily, and be questioned by the entry-exit frontier inspection authorities, and there is no case of not issuing temporary entry permits. The 144-hour calculation method generally refers to the difference between the time when passengers arrive in China by means of transport to go through the border inspection formalities and the time when the outbound means of transport is scheduled to leave China.
