Work all done, we are going home

The Shanghai General Station of Immigration Inspection has resumed issuing administrative permits for border inspection and the conduction of crew change requested by international vessels.

"At present foreign crew members can apply for crew change through ship agents with their valid travel documents, and Chinese visas (except for those from visa-free countries)," said Liu Yi, an immigration officer.

"For crew members who don't hold Chinese visas, they can apply for temporary entry permits and connecting flights departing from Shanghai. The whole process takes no longer than a few minutes."
