Hello,
I'm french, traveling in Thailand. When I will go back from Bangkok to Paris, by an Air France flight, in May, I will stay two days in transit in Guangzhou.
1) Do I need a visa for two days in transit in Guangzhou? I know that in Shangha you don't need it).
2 If I apply for a visa at the chinese embassy in Bangkok, do I need to leave my passport ? How many days ? It's a problem, because I'm traveling in Thailand, so I need it.
3) Do you know when the chinese embassy will open ? Today, the16th of april, it seems to be closed.

Thanks a lot. Merci beaucoup.
