Two documents do the heavy lifting: a valid ordinary passport and a confirmed onward ticket to a third country or region (with seat and date). The old 72-hour and 144-hour tiers have been consolidated into this single 240-hour policy.

Entry Process at 杭州

1. Before boarding: your airline checks the onward ticket — have the third-country booking ready.
2. On arrival: go to the 240-hour transit inspection counter and fill in the arrival card.
3. At border inspection: receive the temporary entry permit; the 240-hour clock starts at the moment of entry.
4. During your stay: tourism, business, visits and family reunions are fine — work, study and news reporting still require a visa.
5. Before 240 hours are up: exit through any designated port in China — it does not have to be 杭州.

可申请240小时过境免签。可在24个省级区域的65个指定口岸中任选口岸出入境，允许在准许停留区域内跨省通行，最长240小时（10天）。区域：浙江。

Cross-province travel within the permitted areas is officially allowed — you can enter in one city and depart from another, as long as both are designated ports.
