Visa/Transportation/Accommodation (Shanghai Airport)
To ensure that Turkish citizens planning to attend the Die & Mould China 2027 fair in China can travel smoothly, there are several important points they must consider regarding visas, transportation, and accommodation.
China Visa
The People's Republic of China is not part of the Schengen area. Therefore, Turkish citizens must obtain a Chinese visa appropriate to their purpose of travel in order to visit China. For trips undertaken for fair attendance or to establish business connections, a "Commercial Visa" (M Visa) or a "Visitor Visa" (L Visa) is typically required. The visa application process may require complete documentation, scheduling an appointment, and appearing in person at the application center. Because visa processing can take time, it is advisable to begin the application process at least 1–2 months before the travel date. An experienced trade fair tourism agency such as Delta Expo can provide consulting and support during this process to streamline your visa application.
Transportation: Shanghai Airports and Fair Venue Access
Shanghai is one of the world’s largest and most modern cities, hosting two major international airports:
- Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG): It is Shanghai’s main international gateway. Direct flights from around the world provide easy access. Provides various options for reaching the city center and the NECC fair area.
- Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA): Primarily used for domestic and some regional international flights. It is closer to the NECC.
Travel from either airport to the National Convention and Exhibition Center (NECC) is very convenient:
