My wife and I are visiting Manila, Philippines first for a few days. From there we plan to visit Beijing for 2 days after which we will be returning to Manila before we go back to Copenhagen, -Denmark. Is that included in the category of a transit visit?

Arthur · Answer

No, if you fly from Manila to Beijing and will return to Manila, it will not be a transit actually.  You need to apply for a Chinese tourist L type in advance before leaving for philippines. (a single entry Chinese L is valid for 3 months after issue date).
