Hello, I am a Dutch citizen and I will fly from Amsterdam to Melbourne, Australia. In Beijing I have a short landing (refuelling) and fly then to Guangzhou (arrival 19.45). From there I have a connected flight to Melbourne (departure 23.50). From previous posts I understand I won't need a transit visa, because I won't leave the airport within 24 hours. But now someone said to me that you have to arrive an leave on the same date for not having a transit visa. If my plane is delayed by more then 10 minutes, he says I will have a problem. Is this true and should I apply for a transit visa for just in case, because more than 10 minutes delay can happen very easily?

Looking forward to your answer,
Karsten
