do i need to obtain a chinese visa for stopover in beijing?

Question

Hi, I will be traveling through Beijing and have a long stopover in Beijing(8 hrs). Do I need to obtain a Chinese visa in order to get out of the airport and see some of the city for a few hours? thank you

Ms.ELLIOTT · Answer

Yes, you need a China Transit Visa in order to get out of the airport to visit Beijing. Sometimes, it is possible for you to get a one day stay permit at the Beijing airport, but it is risky to do so, if the stay permit is denied to issue you, you can't leave the airport. Therefore, you'd better apply transit visa in advance.
