Visa policy of China | Taiwan Compatriot Permit on arrival
Holders of passports issued by Taiwan can obtain a single-entry Taiwan Compatriot Permit on arrival at some airports with a Taiwan passport (with validity of more than 3 months), Taiwanese National ID card, return ticket and 2 passport-sized photos, with a fee of CNY 150. Some airports may require additional documents, such as an invitation letter. Eligible airports are: Beijing, Changchun, Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing, Dalian, Fuzhou, Guilin, Guiyang, Haikou, Hailar, Hangzhou, Harbin, Hefei, Hu...
I read on Wikipedia with those ROC passport and ROC ID card but no long term Taiwan compatriot pass, it’s possible to get a single entry permit at certain Airports in mainland China Shanghai being one of them.
I am curious if anyone have actual experience.
I would have relatives that currently live overseas but want to go to China but would strongly prefer to avoid having to make a multi day stop in Hong Kong or Macau to secure a Taiwan compatriot pass.
I also heard that Taiwan Compatriot pass holder since 2015 no longer need to obtain a visa each time they enter the mainland.
