  • This is a useful answer. But what is TWOV? Can you clarify that? Commented Nov 16, 2023 at 13:37

    It had a separate line at PVG, too (at least before Covid.) The downside was that, in one of the two times that I used it there, that line wasn't open yet and I had to wait around a while for them to get someone to open it. In the other case, the line wasn't terribly long (maybe a dozen or so parties,) but it moved rather slowly (I waited something like 45-60 minutes.) Commented Nov 16, 2023 at 22:44
  • The weird part is, one of the reasons you have to notify the airline that you will use the TWOV is so that Chinese Immigration knows, and is ready for you when you land... I guess in their own time... :-) Commented Nov 17, 2023 at 7:13
