Can foreigners pay late when they enter the Shanghai isolation hotel without money?

You can pay later, but you must pay. Due to the long duration of the epidemic, China has spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources on the epidemic. Therefore, if there is social medical insurance, the social security center will pay the relevant treatment costs. If you don't have social insurance or even China nationality, you must pay for everything from isolation to treatment, not free.

At present, there is no uniform provision for isolation fees in the country, and local governments formulate relevant policies to implement them, so different places will have different standards for isolation fees. If you are isolated at your own expense but have no money to pay the isolation fee, you can negotiate with the isolation unit to postpone the payment or pay the fee in installments.
