Visa is not required,  but your need to apply for a stay permit when you arrive at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport.

i wont be staying there though im in transit to canada. so will only be at each china airport for 4 - 6 hrs.. does this require a transit visa?

Joe · Answer

Hi Ween, as what Ethan said above, visa is not required if you are transit in these two airports without leaving. A stay permit issued at your first stopover in Gunagzhou is enough.

Thanks Joe & Ethan,How do i obtain this permit.

Ethan · Answer

This is simple. You can get this permit with your passport and flight ticket from the Frontier Inspection office in the airport.
