FOR INTERNATIONAL PATIENTS · SHANGHAI CARE PATHWAY
Your journey to Shanghai.
A considered human connection.
From confidential remote surgical assessment in your home country to 144-hour visa-free entry, 5-star hotel convalescence, and lifetime electronic continuity, HUYAN at Shanghai Saintia Aesthetic Hospital orchestrates every detail with unhurried precision.
VISA & TRAVEL FACILITATION
Seamless border entry.
Two clear pathways to Shanghai.
We eliminate cross-border complexities with verified Chinese entry channels and official hospital sponsorship.
144-Hour Transit Without Visa (TWOV)
Citizens of 54 countries (including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, EU member states, Australia, and New Zealand) transiting through Shanghai Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA) airports can enter China visa-free for up to 6 full days (144 hours). Ideal for rapid-recovery procedures such as blepharoplasty, mini neck lifts, dental smile makeovers, and regenerative cellular therapies.
Statutory Medical Visa Facilitation
For extensive combination programs requiring 7–14+ days of in-depth recovery (such as Mommy Makeovers, deep periosteal facelifts, or total body contouring), Shanghai Saintia Aesthetic Hospital issues statutory medical visa invitation documentation to ensure prompt, compliant visa issuance through your local Chinese embassy or consulate.
