business trip to korea/china

Question

At first I am flying from Germany to Korea, Seoul. Afterwards I will fly to Beijing stay there max 72 h before I fly back to Germany, Munich. Flights are already booked accordingly. Can I go out of the airport to Beijing city without visa. A second option would to fly back to Korea, Seoul and then back to Germany. Would this fulfill the criterias for transit permit?

Jacob · Answer

Yes, you are qualified to use 72 hour visa-free transit in Beijing if you have confirmed ticket to Germany. You are allowed to visit Beijing city with a trasnit permit issued at the airport. A trip with single return flight (Seoul-Beijing-Seoul) does not mean a transit in Beijing, so visa is required then.
