do we require a visa?????

Question

My husband and I have a 4 and a half hour stopover in Guangzhou CHINA on the way to San Francisco and a 12hour stopover on the way back to Perth WA......do we both require a visa for our stopover??

Alvin · Answer

Hi Eves, visa is not requred for a stopover less than 24 hours without leaving the airport. So, if you will stay within transit area in the airport on both way to and back, you do not need a visa, and if you want to stay in a hotel or go out of the airport, you can apply for a 24-hour Stay Permit at the airport.
